China to promote fair access to vaccines in developing countries

China will be true to its word and continues to promote the fair access of COVID-19 vaccines in developing countries, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said on Monday.

China has announced it will provide 10 million vaccine doses to COVAX for emergency use in developing countries, and is keeping close communication with the World Health Organization (WHO) on this topic, Hua told a press briefing.

The WHO gave China's Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine emergency use approval last Friday.
