The handover ceremony of the earthquake relief materials from the Red Cross Society of China in Afghanistan was held at the headquarters of the Afghan Red Crescent Society in Kabul on the 3rd. Chinese Ambassador to Afghanistan Wang Yu, and Chairman of the Afghan Red Crescent Society, Harris, attended the ceremony.
Wang Yu said that the Afghan earthquake touched the hearts of the Chinese people, and the Chinese side paid close attention to the disaster and responded quickly.
On June 30, the Red Cross Society of China delivered earthquake relief materials such as tents, folding beds and family bags to Afghanistan through a chartered flight, and provided aid funds to the Afghan Red Crescent Society to help the disaster victims in Afghanistan.
Since the earthquake in Afghanistan, China has tried its best to respond to the needs of others and provided a large amount of humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan in a timely manner.
China is willing to work with Afghanistan to continue to support Afghanistan in overcoming the difficulties caused by the earthquake and make contributions to Afghanistan's independent development.
Harris said that the Afghan and Chinese people have a deep friendship and a shared destiny, and the Afghan side sincerely appreciates the valuable assistance provided by the Chinese side.
It is hoped that the Red Cross Society of China and the Afghan Red Crescent Society will maintain friendly relations and close ties, and will continue to provide support and assistance to Afghanistan in the fields of economy, science and technology, and medical care.
