KABUL - Chinese Ambassador to Afghanistan Deng Xijun said Tuesday China would continue to support the post- war country in every field.

"We sincerely expect to join hand with Afghanistan to continuously promote tangible cooperation in every field with a view of consistently deepening the bilateral ties and striving to blaze a trial for a better future of the two countries together," the ambassador said in his remarks after the inauguration of two newly constructed China-aided buildings -- the Chinese Language Department and the Guest House in Kabul University.

In the ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by Kabul University dean Habibullah Habib and acting Minister for Higher Education Mohammad Usman Babury, among others, the ambassador said the China-aided teaching building of the Chinese Language Department is to serve as the compound of the Confucius Institute where students can learn about China and its culture while the Guest House will help provide international professors and teachers with better working and living conditions.

"The two buildings are not only a symbol of the continuous support of the Chinese government to the post-war reconstruction of Afghanistan, especially in the field of education, but also a manifestation of the long-lasting friendship of the two peoples of China and Afghanistan," the ambassador said.
