A ceremony of China-donated 1 million COVID-19 vaccines and 2-million-yuan worth of medical supplies to Myanmar was held virtually yesterday.
During the event, Chairman of China
International Development Cooperation Agency (CIDCA) Mr Deng Boqing made an
opening speech.
Then, Union Minister for Health Dr Thet
Khaing Win expressed words of thanks to China for providing the vaccines and
medical equipment, which were transported via Yunnan provisional government, to
vaccinate the people living along the border area of Kachin and Shan states.
The ministry is conducting the
vaccination programme to vaccinate the entire population of the country,
including border areas under the leadership of the Provisional Government of
Myanmar.
He also said as the mutations of the
COVID-19 virus are currently occurring around the world, effective preventive
measures play a key role and vaccine-producing countries should provide
developing countries to be able to produce vaccines. Scientific research should
be done in searching the source of the virus and it should not blame or give
political pressure on other countries. He then expressed words of thanks for
the donations on behalf of the Provisional Government and people.
Chinese Ambassador to Myanmar Mr Chen
Hai, Vice-Governor of Yunnan Province Ms Li Malin, Governor of Dehong Dai and
Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, China Mr Wei Gang and the
