Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In January 2002, Chinese President Jiang Zemin, Prime Minister Zhu Rongji signed an agreement to provide Afghanistan emergency aid package worth 30 million Chinese Yuan during the visit of Afghan interim leader Hamid Karzai. The aid package includes medicine, medical equipment, stationery, and sports products is for support of the temporary government. In March 2002, Northern Afghanistan was hit by Hindu Kush earthquakes, so part of the aid was also used for rehabilitation. The handover ceremony was held on March 26, 2002. The agreement was signed together with #37850, another assistance of 1 million USD in cash. For other 2002 earthquake response fund that China provided for Afghanistan, see #34501 for details. This project is part of a package of 2002-2005 China assistance to Afghanistan of 150 million USD reconstruction plan (#34498).
