The Chinese government will donate 100,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines at Namibia's request, Chinese ambassador to Namibia Zhang Yiming said on Thursday.

Namibia has been listed among the priority countries for purchasing Chinese vaccines, Zhang announced at an event held in Windhoek.

"This fully reflects the high-level bilateral relations between our two countries," he said, adding that the two sides are coordinating to deliver the vaccines to Namibia as soon as possible.
