Jordan on Sunday received a batch of Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccines donated by the Chinese government, as part of the anti-pandemic cooperation effort between the two countries.

Chinese Ambassador to Jordan Chen Chuandong and Jordanian Minister of Health Firas Hawari signed the handover certificate for the donation at Amman's Queen Alia International Airport.

Hawari voiced appreciation for China's support, saying "this coronavirus crisis has proven that we cannot control the disease unless we cooperate."
