On May 19, 2022, President Harris of the Afghan Red Crescent Society met with Ding Yinan, Chargé d'affaires ad interim of the Chinese Embassy in Afghanistan. Burhan, Secretary General of the Afghan Red Crescent Society, was present.

Ding Yinan said that China regards Afghanistan as a friendly neighbor and brother, and sincerely provides support and assistance to Afghanistan in various fields. For a period of time, many provinces in Afghanistan have suffered from floods and suffered heavy losses of property and personnel. The Chinese side feels the same. The Red Cross Society of China raised humanitarian cash assistance immediately, and asked our embassy to help transfer it to the Afghan Red Crescent Society to help the Afghan people fight floods and rebuild their homes. China will also continue to pay close attention to the needs of the Afghan people and provide timely assistance within its capacity.

Harris said that China-Arab friendship has a long history. At present, an important task of the Red Crescent Society is to help people affected by floods. The cash assistance provided by the Red Cross Society of China is very timely and important. We are deeply grateful for this. It is distributed to the Afghan people in need, so that they can truly feel the kindness and righteousness of the Chinese people. At the same time, it is hoped that China will continue to provide support to Afghanistan in the fields of health, education and agriculture, so as to help Afghanistan achieve independent development at an early date.
