2021年CRI 全国新冠疫苗接种近7500万剂次 三星堆考古有新发现

Chinese President Xi Jinping has spoken highly of the cooperation between China and Colombia in the fight against COVID-19.

He made the remarks when delivering a video speech to the Colombian people at the invitation of President Ivan Duque as the third batch¹ of COVID-19 vaccines³ provided by China arrived in the Latin American country.

"In the face of the unexpected novel coronavirus outbreak, the two countries have been working in solidarity⁴ and helping⁵ each other overcome difficulties and actively⁶ carry out anti-pandemic cooperation. Not long ago, the two batches⁷ of Chinese vaccine² doses purchased by Colombia had arrived. Today, another batch of vaccine doses has arrived to bolster⁸ Colombia's national COVID-19 vaccination⁹ program."

Xi Jinping also calls on the government and people of China and Colombia to strengthen bilateral¹⁰ cooperation to elevate their relationship to a new level and bring more benefits to the people of both sides.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has said it is unwise for the United States to impose sanctions on Russia and China.

A Chinese official says nearly 75 million COVID-19 vaccines have been administered across China as of midnight Sunday.

National Health Commission spokesperson Mi Feng says although the pandemic prevention and control situation has been generally stable and under control, it's still not the time to slacken anti-pandemic efforts.

"We must ensure that containment¹² measures must be more precise, targeted and effective. After there were 31 consecutive¹³ days with no local cases, there was a report of one confirmed case in Shaanxi Province on March 18th. That has warned us that we should still not ease up and must ensure that there are no rebounds¹⁴ on the bigger scale after identifying any cases."
