Peter Morrell, Chairman of the International Committee of the Red Cross, said in an exclusive interview with the Xinhua News Agency in New York a few days ago that it is imperative for all countries in the world to focus on their own lives and the well-being of all mankind, to commit themselves to further strengthening the construction of the multilateral international system, to resolve regional conflicts through negotiation and dialogue, and to better jointly respond to the deepening global humanitarian crisis. Morel said that in the past 10 years, due to the continuous expansion of the scope and scale of regional armed conflicts, climate change and COVID-19 have exacerbated the long-term structural problems in the development of some countries and regions, and the global humanitarian needs have "multiplied". He pointed out that the Red Cross Society was designed as a "temporary institution" at the beginning of its establishment, "expecting peace to come", and "the best thing in the world is that the Red Cross Society no longer needs to exist". Unfortunately, the size of the organization has doubled from 10 years ago, "because the current international system has failed to find an appropriate way to promote a peaceful solution". Morel said that the increasing and expanding armed conflicts are the main factors that aggravate the humanitarian crisis. The role of international humanitarian relief agencies depends to a large extent on the political will of the leaders of the countries concerned and the parties to the conflict. Many complex and lasting conflicts cannot be properly resolved without strong multilateral cooperation and promotion. Morel expressed appreciation for China's active participation in international relief and humanitarian affairs. He believed that China has rich experience and outstanding ability in infrastructure construction and will play a greater role in future international rescue and war zone reconstruction in disaster areas. Looking back on his ten years as the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, Morrell said that what touched him most was to see that his work was really serving the disaster stricken areas. For example, the clinic that helped to build and operate actually benefited the local people, and helped children separated from their parents due to the war to reunite with their families, which made him warm. "I have experienced hundreds of such special moments... As the President of the Red Cross, I can experience these moments, which is touching." (Liu Xinshe)
