The first batch of relief goods donated by Indonesia arrived in Chengdu, capital of quake-stricken Sichuan Province, Friday afternoon, according to China's Foreign Ministry.

The donation is part of a package of 489,000 U.S. dollars worth of supplies including 215 tents, six tons of food and eight tons of medicine, which are badly needed in the quake-hit area. Another shipment is expected to arrive in Chengdu Saturday morning.

A donation of 638,500 yuan (92,500 U.S. dollars) worth of relief materials, mainly food and blankets, from Thai Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn, arrived in Chengdu Friday.
