The Republic of Korea has committed $500,000 to support emergency relief for communities affected by Cyclone Ditwah in Sri Lanka.

The assistance will be channeled through the World Food Programme to provide essential supplies in the worst-hit districts, including Nuwara Eliya, Badulla, Kurunegala, Kandy, Trincomalee and Mannar.

Korean President Lee Jae Myung and Foreign Minister Cho Hyun expressed condolences and reaffirmed their country’s support for Sri Lanka’s recovery, while Ambassador Miyon Lee said the aid reflects the strong friendship between the two nations.
