Kathmandu, April 10 -- The government of Nepal has sent 41 tons of relief materials to quake-hit Myanmar.

In the aftermath of the March 28 earthquake, the government dispatched a medical team of Nepal Army to Myanmar.

A meeting of senior officials at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday decided to provide relief materials, assigning some officials to deliver the aid to the Southeast Asian country.

Joint-secretaries Tapas Adhikari and Surendra Yadav at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a joint-secretary at the home ministry, aided by other officials, have left for Myanmar. They will hand over the relief materials to Burmese authorities and will return on Thursday, said foreign ministry spokesperson Krishna Prasad Dhakal.
