Deputy Prime Minister Ishwar Pokharel has urged the Chinese Communist Party for its help in providing COVID-19 vaccines to Nepal.

In a virtual meeting today between major political parties and the Chinese Communist Party (CPC), Pokharel requested the Chief of the International Department of the CPC Song Tao for vaccine aid, according to DPM's press advisor Ganesh Pandey. CPN-UML General Secretary Pokharel emphasised the need for concrete collaboration between the two countries for the vaccine.

Earlier today, in a telephone conversation with President Bidya Devi Bhandari, the President of China announced to provide 1 million doses of vaccine to Nepal. This is in addition to the 800,000 doses received earlier from China to Nepal as grant assistance.
