The representative of China made a statement at the 50th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council on the 16th to discuss the Afghan issue, pointing out that the United States is the initiator of the Afghan issue and should take practical actions to compensate for the harm caused to the Afghan people. The representative of China said that it has been 10 months since fundamental changes have taken place in the situation in Afghanistan. The Afghan interim government has made some progress in building governance, but it still faces multiple challenges, including humanitarian, economic and security challenges. The international community should strengthen contact and dialogue with the Afghan interim government, guide it to improve its broad and inclusive political structure, pursue a moderate and prudent domestic and foreign policy, resolutely combat terrorism in all forms, and live in friendship with all countries in the world, especially its neighbors. The international community should provide Afghanistan with necessary emergency humanitarian assistance and anti epidemic support to help alleviate the plight of its economy and people's livelihood. The representative of China said that the United States was the initiator of the Afghan problem. A large number of innocent Afghan civilians were killed by the U.S. military or died as a result of the war, and tens of millions of people became refugees. The irresponsible and hasty withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan has led to a serious humanitarian crisis facing the Afghan people. Instead of shouldering its due responsibility to help the Afghan people alleviate the humanitarian crisis, the United States openly plundered Afghan national assets and further exacerbated the suffering of the Afghan people. China urges the United States to immediately and comprehensively lift unilateral sanctions against Afghanistan, unconditionally return assets belonging to the Afghan people, and take practical actions to make up for the harm caused to the Afghan people.
