BEIJING: The medical supplies from Pakistan for Wuhan, the Chinese city hit by a novel coronavirus outbreak, have arrived in China.
300,000 medical masks, 800 hazmat suits and 6,800 pairs of gloves were allocated to be transported to China.
A number of other countries, including Russia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Kazakhstan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Austria, Australia, Algeria, Iran and Turkey have also offered donations of anti-epidemic medical supplies to help China contain the deadly disease. Reports say South Korea offered large amounts of medical and anti-epidemic materials to China, including two million face masks, one million medical masks, 100,000 hazmat suits and 100,000 pairs of goggles.
These supplies are being transported to the virus-hit central Chinese city of Wuhan in shipments. In a telephonic conversation with his Chinese counterpart on Friday, FM Qureshi had expressed Pakistan’s readiness to do its best to help China overcome this challenge. He said Pakistan will be sending a military aircraft carrying assistance supplies to China soon and that the people of Pakistan stand by the brotherly Chinese people during this difficult time.
