Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, July 2 (Reporter Ma Zhuoyan) Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on the 2nd that since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, China has firmly upheld the “first attribute” of vaccines as a global public product.

Wang Wenbin said that China has also carried out joint R&D and cooperative production with many developing countries, and supported relevant companies in cooperating with foreign parties to carry out phase III clinical trials.

He said that Chinese vaccines have gained a good reputation in the international community, and their safety and effectiveness have been widely recognized. At present, more than 100 countries have approved the use of Chinese vaccines. WHO has included the vaccines of Sinopharm Group and Kexing Company into the emergency use list. More than 30 foreign leaders took the lead in vaccinating China.

"China will continue to contribute to the realization of the availability and affordability of vaccines in developing countries within its capacity." Wang Wenbin said, "We also hope that all countries in the world with conditions can act as soon as possible and fulfill their promises as soon as possible. To promote the equitable distribution and use of vaccines in the world, and promote global anti-epidemic cooperation to make due contributions."
