BEIJING - China's Ministry of Commerce (MOC) said Wednesday that the Chinese government has offered emergency humanitarian aid to Kyrgyzstan.

The 5-million-yuan ($732,064) aid was announced by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang Tuesday. It has been transported to Kyrgyzstan, the MOC said in a brief notice on its website.

The aid included medicine, medical equipment, food, drinking water, blankets and tents.

China offered assistance to Kyrgyzstan in order to promote the country's return to order and to bring peace as soon as possible to areas where ethnic rioting has flared, Qin said.

Ethnic clashes in southern Kyrgyzstan have left 170 people dead.
