China to send 0.5m doses of COVID-19 vaccine to Pakistan 'in good faith



Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said Thursday China would send the first shipment of the COVID-19 vaccine to Pakistan by January 31, 2021, in what he termed was "good faith".


Speaking to reporters here in the federal capital, Qureshi said: "Pakistan held fruitful talks with China with regard to obtaining the coronavirus vaccine.

"I had a lengthy discussion and spoke of Pakistan's requirements. Then, Prime Minister Imran Khan advised me to engage in further interaction with them [China] keeping in mind the sensitive situation, time, and Pakistan's requirements.


 "I'm glad to tell you that I had a telephonic conversation with Chinese foreign minister. I wish to give this happy news to the nation that China has promised that, God-willing, it will send Pakistan 500,000 doses of the [coronavirus] vaccine by January 31," he said, adding that it was an act of "good faith" and that Beijing planned to send more by February 2021.
