New Delhi: A team led by a Joint Secretary in the Ministry of External Affairs is currently on a visit to Kabul to oversee the delivery operations of Indian humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan.

During the visit, the team will meet representatives of the International Organisations involved in distributing humanitarian assistance.

In addition, the team is expected to visit various places where Indian programmes/projects are being implemented, the MEA said in a release.

It may be recalled that in response to the humanitarian needs of the Afghan people, India decided to extend humanitarian assistance to the Afghan people.

“In this endeavor, we have already dispatched several shipments of humanitarian assistance consisting of 20,000 MTs of wheat, 13 tons of medicines, 500,000 doses of COVID Vaccine and winter clothing. These consignments were handed over to the India Gandhi Children Hospital, Kabul and UN specialised agencies including WHO and WFP,” said MEA.

Furthermore, India is in the process of shipping more medical assistance and foodgrains to Afghanistan.

In continuation with the developmental partnership with Afghan brethren, India has gifted one million doses of India-made COVAXIN to Iran to administer to Afghan refugees in Iran.

“We have also assisted UNICEF by supplying almost 60 million doses of polio vaccine and two tons of essential medicines,” the MEA stated.

India’s development and humanitarian assistance have received widespread appreciation across the entire spectrum of Afghan society.

In this connection, the Indian team will meet the senior members of the Taliban and hold discussions on India’s humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan.

“India has historical and civilisational ties with the Afghan people and these longstanding linkages will continue to guide our approach,” the MEA statement said.
