China and ASEAN member states, especially Vietnam, have fostered practical cooperation on curbing the spread of COVID-19 and accelerating economic recovery amid the prolonged outbreaks and their devastating impacts on the region as well as the world.

To date, China has provided ASEAN member states, including Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar, with over 300 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines as well as a great number of emergency medical supplies, and has also sent medical expert teams to help build virus-testing labs and work on vaccine trials with ASEAN countries, Xinhua News Agency reported.
