Can anyone clarify this news. Because can Pakistan afford to give Sri Lanka a loan of 200 million USD where there is a huge economic crisis and Pakistan fell short by 73% aid to flood victims in Sindh.

Pakistan's relations with Sri Lanka go back to decades of cooperation. We have always been a friend of Sri Lanka and will do what ever we can to help establish even more broader relations to solidify this friendship.

I'm not questioning the pakistans intent of giving the aid, but is pakistan in a position to aid some other country when you yourselves have so much to improve, Sri Lanka is financially stronger/stable than pakistan. 200 millions ah not much amount may be that's why they donated it for the sake of friendly relations :cheers:
