Pakistan Railway: two “first” and “hardcore” friendships

The handover ceremony of the People’s Liberation Army in aid of Pakistan’s army against the coronavirus vaccine was held on February 8 at Nur Khan Air Force Base near Islamabad. The vaccine box is printed with “Brothers are one heart, and their sharpness breaks gold”.

Just a week ago, the Chinese government donated a batch of coronavirus vaccines to the Pakistani government, and Pakistan became the first recipient of the Chinese government’s foreign aid vaccine. Now, the vaccine aided by the Chinese army to the Pakistani army has arrived smoothly, and the Pakistani army has become the first foreign army to receive vaccine assistance from the Chinese army.

As Chen Wenrong, the defense attaché of the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan, said at the ceremony, the two “firsts” once again demonstrated the unbreakable “hardcore” friendship between China and Pakistan. This batch of vaccines will play an important role in the cooperation between China and Pakistan in the fight against the epidemic.

Nigal Jowhar, the chief medical officer of the Pakistani Army and director of the Health Service Bureau of the three services, attended the ceremony, thanked the Chinese army for providing vaccine assistance to the Pakistani army. She said that after the outbreak of the epidemic in Pakistan last year, the anti-epidemic materials assisted by the Chinese army and the medical expert team sent by the Chinese army played a key role in effectively curbing the epidemic in Pakistan. Now, the Chinese army provides the Pakistani army with much-needed vaccines in the first place, which is like a “timely rain” for the Pakistani side, which is deeply grateful to the Pakistani side.

According to a statement issued by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Information Bureau on the same day, this batch of coronavirus vaccines assisted by the Chinese army will be included in the Pakistan National Vaccine Plan for front-line medical staff.

Cambodia: When close friends are in trouble, they must help each other.

The first batch of coronavirus vaccines from China to Cambodia arrived in Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia, on February 7. This is the first coronavirus vaccine Cambodia has received since the outbreak of COVID-19. The vaccine box is printed with the Cambodian proverb “trust is like a tree” and the Chinese idiom “watch and help each other”.

The first batch of coronavirus vaccine donated by China was then officially delivered to Cambodia, including a batch of vaccines provided by the Chinese army to the Cambodian army. As Wang Wentian, the Chinese ambassador to Cambodia, said at the handover ceremony, this fully reflects the special and profound brotherhood between the two countries and the two armies.
