On April 20, Deng Boqing, deputy director of the China International Development Cooperation Agency, said at the 2022 Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference that vaccine assistance has two channels: multilateral and bilateral, and the two aspects complement each other.
From the perspective of China's foreign aid, it is mainly through bilateral channels.
Deng Boqing pointed out that China's aid is not "sprinkling pepper", but first and foremost to meet the urgent needs of the recipient countries. In addition, in the process of aid, it is not simply "give a man a fish", but "teach a man how to fish". Vaccines are provided in a timely manner as needed, and cooperation is also carried out on vaccination, vaccine technology transfer, and even vaccine development and production.
Aid through international organizations is also an important channel.
Deng Boqing said that China is willing to join hands with the international community, including international organizations, including developed countries, to solve the problems of vaccine accessibility and vaccine immunization gap.
