China will send its coronavirus vaccine as humanitarian aid to a number of developing countries, including Belarus. This was announced by the official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People’s Republic of China Wang Wenbin, quoted by RIA Novosti.
Pakistan was the first foreign country to receive humanitarian aid in the form of a drug for COVID-19. A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry said that China is currently preparing to send vaccines to 13 more developing countries. Among them are the states of South and Southeast Asia, Mongolia, Palestine, Belarus and Zimbabwe.
After them, it is planned to provide assistance to 38 more countries.
In China, several vaccines for coronavirus are being developed simultaneously. The two flagship vaccines were developed by the private company Sinovac and the state-owned company Sinopharm. Chinese authorities plan to vaccinate more than 50 million people against coronavirus before the Chinese New Year.
