The Chinese ambassador to Namibia has said China will donate 100,000 doses of Covid-19 vaccines to Namibia, according to a Reuters report.

Ambassador Zhang Yiming told Namibia’s first lady Monica Geingos during an event at the Chinese embassy, attended by reporters, that Beijing had decided to give priority to 53 developing countries including Namibia to acquire Chinese vaccines.

“This fully reflects the high-level bilateral relations between our two countries,” he said, adding that the two countries were coordinating closely to deliver the vaccine to Namibia as early as possible.
