‘Recovering’ China ready to help Thailand beat Covid-19
China, which has seen an improvement in the Covid-19 situation, has extended its help to Thailand in battling the virus.
Yang Xin of the Chinese Embassy in Bangkok made the offer during a visit with Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Jurin Laksanawisit at Government House on Wednesday (March 11).
Jurin said Thailand would welcome the assistance, particularly in providing surgical masks, N95 masks and other personal protection equipment and Covid-19 test kits, as well as lower costs for importing raw materials for making masks.
Yang agreed to provide the assistance and said he would make arrangements with his government as soon as possible.
He said Beijing was grateful for the friendliness of the Thai government and people, whom he noted have always come to China’s aid in crises.
Yang and Jurin agreed on an exchange of knowledge regarding the disease and its control and treatment, including screening methods to prevent infected people from boarding flights abroad.
