Africa-Press<\/a> – Rwanda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>A total of 280,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines donated by Slovakia arrived Friday afternoon at the Kigali International Airport. The consignment was delivered through the EU Civil Protection Mechanism (EUCPM).<\/p>\n

\u201cSlovakia has heard loud and clear the calls for vaccine justice. Covid pandemics can only be successfully overcome if we join forces together,\u201d Slovak Ambassador Katar\u00edna \u017duffa Leligdonov\u00e1 in Kenya commented on the development.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why Slovakia has joined in the EU family in Kigali and provide 280 000 Astra Zenecca vaccines to help Rwandan government and people to tackle this pandemics,\u201d Ambassador Leligdonova added.<\/p>\n

The ambassador also commended Rwanda\u2019s efforts in its vaccination drive that has so far seen over 2.137 million receiving their first dose while some 1.69 have been fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n

This is roughly 21 percent of the government\u2019s plan to vaccinate atleast 60 percent of the target population by June, next year. \u201cThe EU is proud to have assisted the arrival of the vaccines through the EUCPM,\u201d said the head of delegation of the European Union to Rwanda, Ambassador Nicola Bellomo.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that the EU stands in solidarity with Rwanda, both multilaterally by supporting the COVAX facility, and also bilaterally by mobilizing vaccines.<\/p>\n

Bellomo highlighted that the agency has also been working with Rwanda to create the framework necessary to attract foreign investment into vaccines manufacturing in the country. The EU finances 75 percent of the transport costs of the assistance sent through the EUPCM.<\/p>\n

Through this Mechanism, the EU helps coordinate and finance the delivery of vaccines, medical and protective equipment and other material which are donated by EU Member states across Europe and the world, to countries that seek assistance.<\/p>\n

Slovakia remains a staunch supporter of international solidarity through multilateralism and the COVAX facility. Two weeks ago, Slovak President Ms. Zuzana \u010caputov\u00e1 emphasised in her speech at the United Nations General Assembly that solidarity should be a binding principle, \u2018not an option\u2019.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
