At such a difficult time, with the second wave of the pandemic raging in Bangladesh, a country in desperate need of vaccines, China's vaccine donations have drawn widespread acclaim from all walks of life in Bangladesh.

Since the global outbreak of COVID-19 last year, China and Bangladesh have continued to work together to fight the pandemic and overcome difficulties, vividly demonstrating the profound friendship between the two countries and their people.

Solidarity and cooperation are the most powerful weapon for humanity to overcome COVID-19. In the face of its own huge vaccination demand, China has done its utmost to support Bangladesh with vaccines, which is a concrete manifestation of China's commitment to make its vaccine a global public good, and the country's contribution to achieving vaccine accessibility and affordability in developing countries.

China has fully demonstrated its firm friendship with and support to Bangladesh in practice. China hopes that the vaccine aid to Bangladesh will play a positive role in protecting the lives and health of its people and help the country fight the pandemic.
