Chinese Ambassador to Afghanistan Wang Yu said that China and Afghanistan are good neighbors, good friends, and good partners. The two countries have always been good neighbors, friendly, and help each other.
In the future, China will continue to provide assistance to the best of its ability when needed by Afghanistan, and is also willing to promote Chinese companies to actively participate in the economic reconstruction of Afghanistan, so that the achievements of China-Arab cooperation in building the “Belt and Road” will benefit the ordinary people of both countries.
The materials handed over this time include tents, blankets and daily necessities, which will greatly improve the emergency response capacity of Afghan disasters, and enable the affected people to live and live in peace.
In late August, eastern Afghanistan suffered heavy rainfall and caused flooding.
Since August 25, floods in 12 provinces in eastern Afghanistan have caused at least 122 deaths, 147 injuries and many missing.
According to statistics from the Chinese Embassy in Afghanistan, since this year, the Chinese government has also provided Afghanistan with multiple batches of anti-epidemic materials, including masks, protective clothing, testing reagents, goggles, surgical gloves, and thermometers.
