How much assistance has China decided to provide to Afghanistan?

China has decided to provide Afghan emergency assistance worth 200 million yuan.

On September 8, 2002/KLOC-0, State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi attended the first foreign ministers' meeting of neighboring countries in Afghanistan by video. Wang Yi said that neighboring countries should help each other and lend a helping hand when the other side is in trouble.

According to the needs of the Afghan people, China has decided to provide 200 million yuan worth of food, winter supplies, vaccines and medicines urgently. After security and other conditions are met, China is willing to help Afghanistan build projects that are conducive to improving people's livelihood and support Afghanistan's peaceful reconstruction and economic development within its capacity.

At present, Afghanistan's neighbors can concentrate on several aspects of coordination and cooperation:

The first is to help Afghanistan strengthen epidemic prevention and control. Afghanistan is one of the countries with the lowest vaccination rate in COVID-19 in the world, and there is a risk of accelerating the spread of the epidemic in Afghanistan. All parties can work together to continue to provide anti-epidemic materials and technical assistance to Afghanistan.

China has decided to donate the first 3 million doses of vaccine to the Afghan people, and is willing to provide more anti-epidemic and emergency materials to Afghanistan under the China-South Asia emergency reserve.

The second is to keep the port open. Afghanistan's economic and trade exchanges are highly dependent on land ports. We should keep our ports open with Afghanistan on the premise of ensuring the security of all countries. China is willing to actively study the resumption of China-Afghanistan freight trains, support other neighboring countries to strengthen customs clearance capacity building with Afghanistan, and facilitate the interaction between Afghanistan and the outside world, especially to obtain humanitarian supplies.

The third is to strengthen the control of difficult immigrants. The United States and its allies should bear the main responsibility for solving the problem of Afghan refugees, and at the same time provide necessary compensation to countries with conditions and willingness to accept Afghan refugees.

We call on the Taliban to improve the inclusiveness and predictability of governance, so that people can truly live and work in peace and contentment, and fundamentally reduce the emergence of refugee immigrants. At the same time, multilateral mechanisms such as the United Nations should be strongly supported to play an active role in this regard.
