The Iranian government has pledged US$2 million worth of humanitarian aid to Indonesia's tsunami victims as part of its US$5 million aid for countries affected by the Dec. 26 disaster, an official said Tuesday.
Iran's Minister for Asian and Pacific Affairs Mohsen Aminzadeh told reporters in Jakarta that the aid will include US$1.4 million in cash and US$600,000 worth of relief supplies, including food, medicine and blankets.
"Although Iran is not a rich country, we fell obliged to help Indonesia, a fellow Muslim country," he said.
