Bangladesh Ambassador to USA M Shahidul Islam visited Travis Air Base to see off the consignment. “The generous support by the US government will greatly strengthen Bangladesh’s capacity to fight against Covid-19 pandemic,” he tweeted, reports UNB.
Meanwhile, China will deliver second consignment of Covid-19 vaccine doses for Bangladesh as a gift of the Chinese government in the second week of June.
Hualong Yan, deputy chief of mission at the Chinese embassy in Dhaka in a Facebook post on Saturday said 600,000 doses of vaccine gifted by the Chinese government are ready for delivery by 13 June.
“It’s sincerely hoped that our Bangladeshi brothers and sisters will get the most needed vaccines at earlier date,” he said.
Just nine days after the arrival of the first batch of 500,000 doses of gift vaccine in Bangladesh, China announced the provision of the second batch of gift vaccine doses to Bangladesh.
China says it fully reflects that China attaches great importance to the friendly relations between the two countries.
