In the context of strengthening international partnerships and developing mechanisms for joint humanitarian work, His Excellency the Advisor at the Royal Court and General Supervisor of the King Salman Center for Relief and Humanitarian Aid , Dr. Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al-Rabeeah, met today at the Center’s headquarters in the capital, Riyadh, with the Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Zhang Hua.
The meeting witnessed an extensive discussion of a number of topics of common interest, as both sides focused on ways to enhance cooperation in relief and humanitarian affairs, and discussed possible mechanisms for exchanging experiences in a way that serves the needy and affected around the world, and reflects the depth of diplomatic relations between the two friendly countries.
Chinese praise for the center's professional performance
During the visit, Chinese Ambassador Zhang Hua expressed his profound admiration and deep appreciation for the advanced level of professionalism achieved by the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center. The Ambassador commended the outstanding performance of the Center's field teams, who overcome geographical and logistical challenges to reach various parts of the world. He emphasized that the Center has successfully delivered a noble humanitarian message and spread the seeds of goodness, contributing to instilling hope in the hearts of the deprived and afflicted across different continents.
The Kingdom's leading role in humanitarian work
This meeting comes in the context of the growing role of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as one of the world's largest donors of humanitarian and development aid. Since its establishment in 2015, under the directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, the King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center has consistently provided assistance without discrimination, based on the principles of humanity and neutrality. In just a few years, the Center has successfully implemented thousands of projects in the sectors of food security, health, shelter, and education in dozens of countries affected by disasters and wars.
The importance and impact of international cooperation
These talks are of particular importance given the escalating humanitarian crises facing the world, as cooperation between influential international powers such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the People's Republic of China is a cornerstone for addressing these challenges. The meeting reflects a shared desire to coordinate international efforts to ensure that aid reaches those who need it most effectively.
This rapprochement is expected to open new horizons for humanitarian work, as Saudi Arabia’s accumulated experience in managing relief crises can be integrated with Chinese logistical and technical capabilities, enhancing the speed of response to natural disasters and humanitarian crises in the future, and confirming the Kingdom’s continued commitment to extending a helping hand to afflicted peoples, thus consolidating its leading position in the international community.
