A PIA flight carrying procured items by National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) and donated relief goods has taken off today from Beijing International Airport. The flight is carrying Nucleic Acid Detection Kits, IgG/IgM Rapid Test Devices, Real-time Fluorescent Kits, scanners, KN95 masks, gloves, goggles, protective clothing, surgical masks and many other items.

The Embassy is in touch with government institutions, private companies and charitable organizations urging them to donate the equipment/items required by Pakistan in its fight against COVID-19. So far, the Embassy and its affiliated Consulates have received more than 30 tons of donated relief items.

On this occasion, the Ambassador of Pakistan said that China is close friend of Pakistan. Amid recent Corona virus outbreak, Chinese Government, companies and organizations have openheartedly come out to help Pakistan. In Beijing alone, goods worth RMB 25 millions have been received in donations and more are expected to be received soon.

Friendship between Pakistan and China transcends the traditional parameters of bilateral relationship. This time-tested, All-Weather Strategic Cooperative partnership is based on unparalleled mutual trust, understanding and commonality of interests. Generous donations from Chinese entities at this critical time are meant to convey strong support and solidarity with Pakistan.

This donation campaign is an ongoing endeavor from the Embassy of Pakistan to arrange medical equipment and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to help Pakistan combat COVID-19 outbreak.
