China will deliver the second consignment of Covid-19 vaccine doses to Bangladesh as a gift in the second week of June.
Hualong Yan, Deputy Chief of Mission at the Chinese Embassy in Dhaka in a Facebook post on Saturday said 600,000 doses of vaccine gifted by the Chinese government are ready for delivery by June 13.
"It's sincerely hoped that our Bangladeshi brothers and sisters will get the most needed vaccines at an earlier date," he said.
Just nine days after receiving the first batch of 500,000 doses of vaccine as gift, China announced sending the second batch of gift vaccine doses to Bangladesh.
