He made the remarks at a meeting to commemorate the 30th anniversary for China to receive international aid and the fist anniversary of international aid to China's earthquake-hit areas. The international community has been extending help to China's earthquake-affected areas since May 12 last year and China is grateful to the efforts, Chen said.
