WORKING TO PROVIDE 40K O2 GENERATORS TO INDIA: CHINA

Chinese companies are working round the clock to meet the demand of 40,000 oxygen generators from India which is facing a shortage of the life-saving gas amid the Covid-19 pandemic, ambassador Sun Weidong has said.

“As far as I know, Chinese companies have been accelerating production of at least 40,000 oxygen generators – orders placed by the Indian side, and they are working round the clock to deliver them as soon as possible. Many Chinese firms and private organisations are also using their own channels to provide various [forms of] help to India,” the Chinese ambassador to India told state-run tabloid Global Times in an interview.

On Friday, Chinese President Xi Jinping expressed serious concerns over the situation in India and offered to help fight the outbreak, in a message to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

“China is willing to strengthen anti-pandemic cooperation with India, and provide support and help to the country,” official news agency Xinhua quoted Xi as saying.
