Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In August, 2017, the Chinese government donated US$1 million to the United Nations' World Food Programme for buying food for the refugees in Iran, mainly from Afghanistan and Iraq. After receiving the Chinese donation, the WFP bought 1,200 tons of emergency food to feed about 30,000 refugees. The Chinese envoy also highlighted the principles of China's donation policies, in which China's donation is provided without political aims, non-interference in the recipient countries' internal affairs, and respecting their legitimate rights to seek development in their own ways.
