A batch of aid mainly including warm materials such as blankets and cotton clothes provided by the Chinese government arrived in Kabul, the capital city of Afghanistan, on Wednesday. 

The first batch of aid brings the deep love and friendship of the Chinese people and reflects China's role as a major country that keeps its promises and is kind to its neighbors, which is a great move to build a community with a shared future for mankind, said Luo Zhaohui, head of the China International Development Cooperation Agency.

Neighboring countries ought to help each other and lend a helping hand to each other in times of difficulty, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said at the Foreign Ministers' Meeting on the Afghan Issue Among the Neighboring Countries of Afghanistan on September 8.

Based on the needs of the Afghan people, China has decided to urgently provide food, materials for winter, COVID-19 vaccines, and medicines worth 200 million yuan, according to Wang. 

When security and other conditions are available, China is willing to help Afghanistan build projects that will contribute to improving people's livelihood, and support peace, reconstruction and economic development of Afghanistan within its capacity, Wang said at the meeting.
