Mongolia received the first batch of COVID-19 vaccines it has purchased from China on Friday as part of the efforts to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Speaking at the handover ceremony of the 300,000 doses of vaccines, Chinese Ambassador to Mongolia Chai Wenrui said that Mongolia is one of the first recipients of the COVID-19 vaccine from China within the framework of both donation and procurement. 

This shows that China and Mongolia have traditionally friendly relations that help each other and overcome difficulties together, said Chai.
