Kabul: Qatar sent nearly 60 tonnes of educational materials and food aid to Afghanistan on Tuesday as part of its ongoing efforts to promote education in the country.
In a statement, Doha’s foreign ministry said the aid is provided by Qatar Charity and the Qatar Red Crescent Society and follows on from similar initiatives to deliver assistance to Afghanistan via an airbridge established in 2021.
The batch was sent following talks on the future of education in Afghanistan, which took place in Doha last month.
Those discussions were attended by the Gulf state’s foreign ministry, Education Above All Foundation, the Afghan Ministry of Education, and the United Nations.
“Participants in these talks agreed on the need to guarantee the right to education for all, to develop a common vision that deals with the challenges, and to provide high-quality educational opportunities for all Afghan students in all regions,” the statement added.
Qatar has been at the forefront of discussions with the new Afghan administration since it seized power in 2021, and has warned the world that isolating Afghanistan puts its population at risk.
