TUNIS, July 13 (Xinhua) — A plane loaded with 500,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine arrived on Tuesday at Tunis Carthage Airport from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), said a statement released by the Tunisian Presidency.
The batch of COVID-19 doses offered by the UAE follows a telephone conversation between Tunisian President Kais Saied and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, it said.
This aid, which aims to support Tunisia’s fight against the pandemic, reflects the strong relations between the two countries, according to the statement.
The presidency also announced that Tunisia received 250,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccine from Algeria to help fight the pandemic.
“This noble initiative reflects the strength of the bonds of brotherhood and the solid relations between Tunisia and Algeria,” said the presidency.
