Grant Description
On July 25, 2019, the Chinese Ambassador to Afghanistan, Liu Jinsong, attended the signing ceremony of an exchange of letters.
The letter exchange was to express China's commitment to provide non-emergency humanitarian aid for Afghanistan's drought. The monetary value for this transaction is unknown. The donation was made as a symbol of friendship ahead of the upcoming Independence Day and Eid al-Adha.
The agreement stated that China would provide non-emergency supplies such as tents and blankets and other disaster relief supplies.
The goal of this agreement is to bolster Afghanistan's disaster preparedness, mitigation, and disaster response capabilities. In a November 2019 statement, Ambassador H.E. Wang Yu stated that a relief package of 11,500 tents was being "mobilized" as part of a new aid project in Afghanistan. On September 20, 2020, tents, towels, and other applies arrived in Afghanistan.
The Chinese government had already donated several batches of emergency supplies in response to the drought. See projects #70644 and #86941 for further information.
