China’s envoy in Kabul said Monday that his country is ready to establish an air corridor for Afghan agricultural products as a stable Afghanistan would benefit the region and the world.
Speaking at an event to mark the hand over of a large consignment of humanitarian aid that arrived at Hairatan land port by rail on Sunday, Wang Yu added that China has pledged humanitarian assistance worth $40 million and that the delivery of this aid would be completed soon.
Aid sent to Afghanistan not only includes food, clothes and medical supplies but also blankets and shelter for displaced Afghans.
“We understand the problems of Afghanistan. We want to prepare a corridor for Afghanistan’s exports and [we] will continue to help Afghans to solve the poverty in Afghanistan,” added Wang.
Wang also said he handed over almost 120,000 blankets and coats for Afghans and that the “Chinese government and people send warmth from the warmest heart.”
Officials of the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation, who took delivery of the aid on Monday, urged Beijing to continue extending help to Afghanistan.
“We hope that humanitarian foundations including China will continue their assistance to Afghans, and help Afghans in this hard situation,” said Arsala Kharoti, the deputy minister of refugees and repatriation.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has expressed concern over the situation in Afghanistan, saying it poses a serious threat to neighboring countries.
During a meeting with Tajikistan’s Foreign Minister, Lavrov emphasized the need for cooperation to address security threats in the Central Asian region, particularly in Afghanistan.
He specifically mentioned Russia and Tajikistan as countries that could be affected by the instability in Afghanistan.
He added that cooperation within multilateral frameworks, such as the Moscow Format on Afghanistan, the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), is essential to counter these threats.
Meanwhile, Russia and Tajikistan have agreed to strengthen their cooperation in combating terrorism and drug trafficking.
However, the Islamic Emirate has repeatedly called these concerns unfounded and consistently emphasized that it will never allow Afghan soil to be used against other countries.
Earlier, the IEA stated that regional joint efforts are necessary to eradicate terrorism.

Principle routes for new Daesh recruits to Afghanistan include travel through Turkey and Iran, U.N. sanctions monitors said in a new report.
The latest report by the U.N. Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team, covering June-December 2024, said that Daesh recruited Central Asians mostly Tajik nationals, and the recruits received training in Badakhshan province of Afghanistan, and there are also training camps in Kunar and Nuristan provinces.
It said that there are over two dozen terrorist groups operating in Afghanistan, and security threat emanating from the country is a continuing driver of instability in the region and beyond.
The report noted that the “ambition and scale of its [the TTP] attacks on Pakistan […] had significantly increased, with over 600 attacks during the reporting period, including from Afghan territory.”
“The Taliban (IEA) continued to provide TTP with logistical and operational space and financial support,” it said.
On al-Qaeda, the report said that the group sought to strengthen cooperation with regional terrorist organizations of non-Afghan origin that operate in the country, including TTP, Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, ETIM/TIP and Jamaat Ansarullah to expand its presence in neighboring countries.
“The Taliban (IEA) maintained a permissive environment allowing Al-Qaida to consolidate, with the presence of safe houses and training camps scattered across Afghanistan,” the report said.
The Islamic Emirate has previously denied the presence of terrorist groups in Afghanistan and emphasized that it will not allow Afghanistan’s soil to be used against other countries.
