He adds that China will continue to resolutely⁵ safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests.

秘鲁周日收到了来自中国制药企业国药集团的第一批疫苗，这个南美国家正在大规模接种疫苗以对抗新冠疫情。

秘鲁总统弗朗西斯科·萨加斯蒂在豪尔赫·查韦斯国际机场迎接这些疫苗。

秘鲁已报告超过110万例新冠肺炎病例，超过4.2万例死亡病例。

南非将暂停推广阿斯利康疫苗，因为一项研究显示，这款疫苗对该国发现的一种冠状病毒新变种效果较差。

南非卫生部长表示，在针对新变种的疫苗获得更多“临床疗效信息”之前，暂时中止推广疫苗进程。

周日，印度北部冰川断裂，目前死亡人数已升至14人，失踪人数升至200多人。

据悉，隧道内充满了泥浆和碎石。
