China’s Army gives Covid-19 vaccines to Pakistan Army

The PLA also delivered a batch of Covid-19 vaccines to the Cambodian military after receiving a request for it.

Amid ongoing tussle on Line of Actual Control with China, Chinese Army People Liberation Army has delivered a batch of Corona vaccines to the Pakistani Army on Sunday.

Pakistani Army has received consignment of vaccine dose one day  after Islamabad received 500,000 doses of the COVID19 Vaccine from Beijing.

Chinese PLA said in a statement that the Pakistan Army has become the first foreign military to receive the Covid-19 vaccine aid from the Chinese military.

The statement, however, did not mention the number of vaccines supplied to the Pakistan Army.

The PLA also delivered a batch of Covid-19 vaccines to the Cambodian military after receiving a request for it.

The Cambodian Army was among the first batch of the foreign military to receive Covid-19 vaccine aid from the Chinese military, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported.


The move comes as the number of Covid-19 cases in Pakistan reached 554,474. With 53 new deaths, the number of fatalities has gone up to 11,967, according to the Ministry of National Health Services.

China has granted conditional approval for its second Covid-19 vaccine, ahead of the expected emergency approval from the WHO for two of its jabs that would enable the country to step-up global supplies of the shots.
