Twenty Years of ICRC in China: From Origins to Vision

Twenty years of ICRC in China: from origins to vision

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the establishment of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) Regional Delegation for East Asia in Beijing — a significant and commemorative milestone.

Over the past two decades, the Regional Delegation has steadily deepened its dialogue and cooperation with the Chinese government, armed forces, the Red Cross Society of China, and other sectors of society. It has served as a pivotal hub for the ICRC’s humanitarian efforts throughout East Asia.

As China’s global influence continues to grow, the ICRC remains committed to strengthening its understanding of China’s perspectives on international cooperation, development, armed conflict, and peace. This ongoing engagement provides a solid foundation for broader and more meaningful dialogue and collaboration in the years ahead.
