AMMAN — Chinese Ambassador to Jordan Guo Wei on Wednesday announced that China has decided to provide urgent humanitarian assistance to Jordan, alongside three other countries in the region.
The move comes amid the ongoing war in the Middle East and the resulting humanitarian crises.
Speaking to Petra, Wei expressed China’s deep sympathy and condolences to the peoples of the region, noting that the aid aims to ease the humanitarian situation, particularly in Jordan.
“The war was avoidable, and its continuation achieves nothing. It is vital to prevent further loss of life and suffering,” he said.
Wei reiterated China’s support for regional countries’ efforts to safeguard their sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity, adding that Beijing will continue diplomatic efforts and mediation to end the war and restore stability.
He also highlighted that China’s humanitarian assistance reflects its commitment to humanitarian values and determination to support the people of the region amid current challenges.
During talks on bilateral relations, the ambassador emphasised that Jordan and China share a strategic partnership, with China backing Jordan’s efforts to maintain security, stability, and economic growth. He added that China is ready to expand cooperation across multiple sectors in support of the development and modernisation plans of both countries.
