Chinese president promises Africa one billion Covid vaccines
By EUobserver
China's president Xi Jinping has pledged Africa one billion Covid vaccine doses, with the continent struggling to acquire enough jabs to immunise against the disease, AFP writes. In a speech made to a China-Africa summit in Senegal, president Xi said his country would donate 600m doses directly. A further 400m doses would come via other sources, such as investments in production sites.
