Ammon News - Chinese ambassador Chen Chuandong said Tuesday that the Jordanian people have through hard work over the generations achieved national independence and other key accomplishments during their century-old state.

In an article entitled "The beauty of spring after rain and wind ... starting again towards a new centenary", which was published by the Chinese embassy on Tuesday, the envoy stated that Jordan and China are cooperating and joining forces in combating the COVID-19 pandemic, which points to the value of the strategic partnership and deep-rooted relations between the two countries.

The Chinese people, he said, will never forget that since the outbreak of the pandemic, Jordanian friends, businessmen and students in China have offered valuable materials and moral support to Hubei province and the city of Wuhan.

The Chinese returned the favor by providing assistance to Jordanians for more than a year, including masks, testing kits, personal protective equipment, temperature screening devices, ventilators and other medical supplies that the Kingdom needed, he added.

On COVID-19 vaccine testing, Chen pointed to bilateral cooperation in the field of clinical trials of the Chinese vaccine, noting that Jordanians took part in the trials, and praising the efficiency and safety of the Chinese vaccine.
