Phnom Penh - Cambodia will provide a total of 300,000 dollars in aid to cyclone-ravaged Myanmar, Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said Monday.

Speaking at an awards ceremony in the capital, Hun Sen said the amount was not adequate, because Cambodia itself was poor, but it was from the heart.

"We still remember how Myanmar helped us after the floods of 2000 by providing 500 tons of rice seeds," he said, speaking of Cambodia's worst floods in decades.

He said Cambodia had already provided 50,000 dollars.

That amount apparently included the proceeds of a collection at the capital's largest private university last week which reportedly raised 10,000 dollars.

Myanmar and Cambodia have retained warm diplomatic ties despite international criticism of the ruling Myanmar military junta's appalling human rights record. (dpa)
