Cargo planes are under plan for medical supplies. Chinese customs will facilitate relevant process," Sun Weidong, China's Ambassador to India, tweeted. It was reported this week that China's state-run Sichuan Airlines had suspended all its cargo flights to India for 15 days, causing major disruption to private traders' efforts to procure the much-needed oxygen concentrators and other medical supplies. The tweet came a day after the United States President Joe Biden said the country was sending a whole series of help that India needed for its battle against the pandemic."We are sending immediately a whole series of help that he needs, including providing for those Remdesivir and other drugs that are able to deal with this," Joe Biden told reporters at a White House news conference on Tuesday.More Related News
