Worth RMB 30m yuan

The last batch of aid goods from China to Afghanistan arrived in Kabul on Sunday morning. This is part of the urgent humanitarian aid worth 30 million yuan (about 3.6 million U.S. dollars) the Chinese government announced that it would provide to the Afghan interim administration, when the latter was established in December last year.

China's aid goods airlifted include medical appliances and equipment, medicines, sports facilities and stationery, all of which are badly needed in war-ravaged Afghanistan.

China's aid on the largest scale of all

The local media have covered related news in some successive days having produced strong impacts in Afghanistan. China's aid goods to Afghanistan are reported on the largest scale of all those Afghanistan has received.

"China fulfilled its promise"

According to Zhang Min, charge d'affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Kabul, many officials from the Afghan interim administration have extended their thanks to the Chinese government. And some local citizens have praised China's timely assistance, saying that China fulfilled its promise with heartfelt aid to Afghanistan. In addition, some officials and experts from international organizations also said China's assistance is badly needed in the war-ravaged Afghanistan.
