It is hoped that the aid will enhance the bilateral cooperation between the nations and bring stability to the Rakhine region.

Indonesian Ambassador to Myanmar Sebastianus Sumarsono said Myanmar’s Government has welcomed the aid from Indonesia.

He added that as well as schools, houses are urgently needed in the state because people are still living in makeshift tents following the destruction of their homes in past conflicts.

In 2008, Indonesia sent 1 million USD to Myanmar to build a hospital near the Andaman Sea.-VNA
