China hopes that the humanitarian aid from the Republic of Korea (ROK) to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) can help improve their bilateral relations and ease tensions on the Korean Peninsula, said a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman on Monday.
Spokesman Lu Kang reiterated China's position on the ROK's humanitarian aid to the DPRK at a routine press conference in Beijing after the ROK on Thursday approved a plan to send 8 million U.S. dollars worth of humanitarian aid to the DPRK.
"Last week, I made clear China's position on ROK's humanitarian aid to the DPRK. The DPRK and ROK descend from the same nation. China always supports the two sides to enhance exchanges, build mutual trust, promote reconciliation and improve relations. We hope the humanitarian aid can help improve relations between the DPRK and ROK and ease tensions on the Peninsula," Lu said.
The ROK aims to send 4.5 million U.S. dollars worth of nutritional products for children and pregnant women through the World Food Programme and 3.5 million U.S. dollars worth of vaccines and medicinal treatments through UNICEF. The exact timing of when the aid will be sent, as well as its size, will be confirmed later.
The ROK humanitarian aid efforts to the DPRK had been halted since the latter's fourth nuclear test in January last year. The last time the ROK had sent aid to the DPRK was in December 2015.
