China has delivered a significant batch of emergency humanitarian aid to Iran, consisting of 58 tonnes of urgently needed medical supplies, as Iran grapples with the consequences of the recent attack by the United States and Israel.

The aid was formally handed over on Wednesday during a signing ceremony in Tehran between the Chinese Embassy in Iran and the Iranian Red Crescent Society.

Cong Peiwu, China's ambassador to Iran, said that his country has always been concerned about the Iranian people and will continue to work with the international community to promote the early restoration of peace and stability in the Middle East.

"This aid package, totaling 58 tonnes, consists entirely of medicines. The recent war launched by the United States and Israel has caused a major humanitarian disaster for Iran, and medicine is in urgent need. Through this assistance, we hope to demonstrate the deep friendship of the Chinese people towards the Iranian people and help them overcome these hardships as soon as possible," said Cong.

Pirhossein Kolivand, president of the Iranian Red Crescent Society, expressed sincere gratitude to China for extending a helping hand during difficult times and for providing valuable support to Iran on various occasions.

"In addition to China's support for the Iranian government, China's humanitarian aid has also been delivered to Iran. This assistance reflects China's care and compassion for our country and people. We extend our heartfelt gratitude, with special appreciation for the delivery of nearly 60 tonnes of medicine from China," he said.
