Pakistan provides first tranche of humanitarian aid to Afghanistan
[KhaamaPress] After the humanitarian aid of Qatar, UAE, and Bahrain, Pakistan as Afghanistan’s biggest immediate neighbor provided Afghans with 30 tonnes of Korans food ingredients and medicines on Thursday, September 9.

The aid which includes flour wheat, cooking oil, and medicine were surrendered to the Taliban’s officials in Kabul International Airport by the Pakistani embassy to Kabul Mansoor Ahmad Khan.

This was the first consignment of the total relief assistance Pakistan’s government plans to provide to the people of Afghanistan.

A statement released by the Pakistani embassy based in Kabul, other tranches of the relief assistance to be delivered to Kandahar, Herat, and Khost province soon.

Earlier, Afghanistan’s other neighbor, China announced emergency aid of over 31 million dollars and 3 million doses of corona vaccine to the people of Afghanistan.

The humanitarian assistance comes as the Taliban officials have called on the international community to provide the people of Afghanistan with unconditional humanitarian assistance to prevent a humanitarian crisis.
The humanitarian aid which was announced in Afghanistan’s neighboring countries’ conference on Wednesday, September 8 also includes food and medicines.

The virtual conference on Afghanistan was arranged by Pakistan in which the foreign ministers of China, Iran, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan had taken part.

Afghanistan’s neighbors unanimously agreed that cooperate in arresting and eliminating the fleeing terrorists.

Chinese foreign minister said that the four countries can cooperate in fields including helping Afghanistan in keeping borders open, providing humanitarian aid, deepening counterterrorism cooperation, and strengthening COVID-19 prevention.

Wang Yi called on the Taliban to hit terrorists in the region and also asked the neighboring countries to strengthen sharing intelligence so that they prevent fleeing terrorists from Afghanistan and eliminate them.

Though China has welcomed the interim cabinet announced by the Taliban, Chinese analysts believe that China will not recognize the caretaker government of the Taliban immediately.

Taliban have always said that China as Afghanistan’s biggest neighbor and one of the leading economic power in the world can play a major role in the reconstruction of Afghanistan and added they can be good partners in the future.
