India plans to discuss with China how it can assist in relief and reconstruction in the country’s earthquake-devastated southwest region, Indian Ambassador to China Nirupama Rao said.

Rao said, “We know there are special needs to rebuild schools and homes and to provide medical care, foods and other needs especially trauma counselling for the affected,”

She said that India would like to be in touch with Chinese Ministry of Civil Affairs nad Sichuan provincial government to identify special projects that would help the affected people.

She said, “It would be a great idea that the team could provide aid in the quake stricken areas,”

Rao was speaking at a commemorative function on the 70th anniversary of the Aid-China-Indian Medical Mission organised by China Soong Ching Living Foundation and the China Society for People’s Friendship Studies.

Rao noted that India and China had established a Dr Dwarkanath Kotnis Memorial Joint Medical Mission comprising 10 young doctors from each side.
