Cooperation with regional partners
editThe KHF had made many agreements with its regional neighbors such as the Russian Federation and China, which date back to the country's establishment in 1991. Similar agreements on a much smaller scale have been established between countries such as Kyrgyzstan, Switzerland and Ukraine. The committee closely cooperates with the international organizations on humanitarian affairs such as the United Nations and its subordinate bodies (UNICEF, the Red Cross and United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs).[5][6]
