Africa-Press<\/a> – Zimbabwe<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>According to the Chinese Ambassador to Zimbabwe Guo Shaochun, Zimbabwe is among the 14 developing countries that will receive the COVID-19 vaccine that was developed by the Asian giant.<\/p>\n

This was contained in a statement that was released by the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China which stated that developing countries like Sierra Leone, Palestine, Belarus, and Myanmar will also receive the vaccine ahead of other developing countries together with Zimbabwe:<\/p>\n

Wang Wenbin ( Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China ) : China has been acting through concrete actions on President Xi Jinping\u2019s solemn commitment of making COVID-19 vaccines, developed and deployed in China, a global public good, thus contributing to greater accessibility and affordability of vaccines in developing countries. That\u2019s what we\u2019ve been saying and what we\u2019ve been doing.<\/p>\n

First, apart from Pakistan, China is also providing vaccine aid to Brunei, Nepal, the Philippines, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Palestine, Belarus, Sierra Leon, Zimbabwe and Equatorial Guinea, altogether 13 developing countries. Going forward, we will also assist another 38 developing countries with vaccines. We also take an active part in the WHO-led COVAX and provide vaccines through this platform to developing countries.<\/p>\n

Second, China supports Chinese companies in conducting joint vaccine R&D and production with foreign partners. Vaccines made by Sinopharm and Sinovac have been exported to countries including the UAE, Morocco, Indonesia, Turkey, Brazil and Chile where clinical studies have beenconducted out.<\/p>\n

Third, China supports relevant companies in exporting vaccines to countries in urgent need that have approved Chinese vaccines and authorized their emergency use. For instance, Serbia has started vaccination with recently imported China-made vaccines. More and more countries are approving the use of Chinese vaccines.<\/p>\n

The whole world needs to pull together in order to defeat the pandemic. China will continue to provide in a timely manner, to the best of its capability, vaccines to relevant countries, especially the developing countries, and contribute its share to building a community of health for all mankind. We also hope the international community will work together to promote the equitable allocation and use of vaccines globally to make sure developing countries have access to and can afford them.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, South Africa has ordered many doses from different manufacturers including Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer, and Indian manufacturers the first batch from India was received yesterday.<\/p>\n
