China’s promise to make its Covid-19 vaccines a “global public product” has been reiterated by Foreign Minister Wang Yi.
He made the comments after visits to China by envoys from Indonesia and the Philippines and his own tour of Cambodia, Malaysia, Laos, Thailand, and Singapore last week.
“China will earnestly fulfill its commitment to make vaccines a global public product once they are successfully developed and put into use, and will contribute to the accessibility and affordability of the vaccines in developing countries,” he was quoted as saying by state news agency Xinhua.
