China has reportedly donated 300,000 doses of Covid-19 Sinovac vaccine to Uganda.
According to local Ugandan media reports, the donation was announced on Sunday by Chinese Special representative, Yang Jiechi, during a meeting with President Museveni at State House, Entebbe.
Prior to the announcement, reports say Ugandan scientists had advised the government to consider Sinovac and Britain’s AstraZeneca.
Mr Jiechi, a member of the China Communist Party political bureau and director of the office of the Central Committee for Foreign Affairs, reports say, flew into Uganda on Saturday night for a one-day visit as part of the five-nation tour.
According to reports, he held meetings with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs officials led by Mr Sam Kutesa in Kampala, and later with President Museveni.
