Disaster relief work brings nations closer

Officials and experts have called for intensified cooperation on disaster prevention and rescue between China and Indonesia, to help both countries better cope with natural calamities.

The nations should enhance information and technical exchanges on geological disaster relief, said Yin Guanghui, deputy director of the China Earthquake Administration's earthquake emergency and rescue department.

"China and Indonesia have set up a cooperation framework for natural disaster relief, but there is still potential for more," he said.
