Mongolia receives humanitarian aid, anti-pandemic supplies from China

Mongolia has received humanitarian aid and medical supplies from north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, local media reported on Friday, citing the Mongolian Red Cross Society.

"The situation of the pandemic in Mongolia is still grim. The Chinese government and people have expressed their sympathies and support to Mongolia," Zhang Muxing, minister counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Mongolia, said in an online handover ceremony.

"I am glad that the humanitarian organizations of the two sides have continued to cooperate. We will spend the humanitarian aid to provide food packages to single-parents or low-income families with many children," Nordov Bolormaa, general director of the Mongolian Red Cross Society, said when attending the ceremony.

As of Friday, Mongolia has registered a total of 3,664 COVID-19 cases, with 2,907 having recovered.
