A total number of 500,000 doses of Chinese-made Sinopharm vaccines were brought to the Katunayake International Airport by a special SriLankan Airlines aircraft this morning.

The vaccines landed at 12.20 midnight from Beijing. The consignment was donated to Sri Lanka by the Chinese government.

The consignment was officially handed over to Health Minister Pavithra Wanniarachchi, Sports Minister Namal Rajapaksa, Tourism Minister Prasanna Ranatunga, State Minister D.V. Chanaka and Professor Channa Jayasumana at the airport. This is the second batch of vaccines donated by the Chinese Government.

Chinese are the real friends of Sri Lanka. They are different from the bullies usually good for making promises accompanied with threats.

Even the Pfizer, moderna need a booster. Check Canadian government websites!!! At least China and Russia came through. Can you the same about India ( promise the moon and give us $ hit) and USA and England. Some of these are trying to make us slaves to get their vaccines. Time to make it in Sri Lanka!!!

China does not give anything free unless you give your soul to them.
