MILAN – Jindong Zhang has moved to offer Suning's support to the communities affected by the recent earthquake in central Italy.
Speaking after arriving in Milan today, he explained: "Suning decided to acquire a majority stake in F.C. Internazionale not only because they are one of the biggest clubs in the world but also because Italy is a beautiful country that has always appealed to us.
"We are all deeply saddened by the tragedy that has struck the heart of this country and our first thoughts go to the people who have lost loved ones as a result.
"We would like to offer our support by donating €200,000 to the associations providing aid and relief work in the areas affected by the earthquake."
