Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the two sisterly countries have been supporting each other.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the support, China has donated medical supplies and sent medical experts to help Ethiopia fight against the virus, and the vaccine aid will be another tangible action to augment Ethiopian government\u2019s effort to thwart the onslaught of the pandemic, it indicated.<\/p>\n<p>While COVID-19 is still rampaging globally, vaccines are the focus of international cooperation for the next stage, it added.<\/p>\n<p>The press release noted that China and Ethiopia are close partners sharing weal and woe together. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the two sisterly countries have been supporting each other.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt should be emphasized that China has never pursued any geopolitical goals in its international cooperation on the COVID-19 vaccine, never calculated any economic benefits, and never attached any political strings,\u201d the press release revealed.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the Government of China always considers vaccine safety and efficacy as the top priority and the country will continue to work with all parties to address the vaccine deficit, contribute to a global community of health for all, in a bid to win the final victory in the global fight against the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cChina is committed to building a China-Africa community of health for all and it will continue to work with Africa to fully deliver on the outcomes of the FOCAC Beijing Summit and the Extraordinary China-Africa Summit on Solidarity against COVID-19, with greater focus on public health, economic reopening and improvement of livelihoods.\u201d said Zhao Lijian, the spokesperson of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Ethiopia.
