Algeria has received 200,000 doses of the Sinopharm vaccine from longstanding ally China, the official APS news agency said Thursday, boosting the North African nation’s fight against Covid-19.
China’s ambassador to Algiers, Li Lianhe, had said last week that Beijing would gift Algeria 200,000 vaccines.
The delivery arrived late Wednesday at the Boufarik military airport west of the capital Algiers, APS reported, citing Communications Minister Ammar Belhimer.
“There will be further deliveries of anti-Covid-19 vaccines until the country’s needs are fully met,” Belhimer added, noting that the drive would be complete by the end of the year.
