Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –

government China declared to temporarily not attend requests from other countries after corona vaccine reach Indonesia.

This was revealed in a conversation between China’s Deputy Foreign Minister Wu Jianghao and Indonesia’s Ambassador to China Djauhari Oratmangun in Beijing on Wednesday (12/9) evening.

Indonesia received the first shipment of the corona vaccine made by Sinovac from China last Sunday (12/6). The government has received 1.2 million Covid-19 Sinovac vaccines.

According to Wu, the third stage of clinical trials showed satisfactory results. It is currently only awaiting approval to be marketed in China.

“While we wait for approval, we do not take requests from other countries except those that have come to Indonesia because it has become our priority,” Wu said before heading to the main venue of the diplomatic reception to mark Indonesia’s 75th anniversary, according to as quoted by Between.

The delivery of the first phase of the Covid-19 vaccine made by Sinovac, he said, was in line with Chinese President Xi Jinping’s commitment to President Jokowi some time ago.

Although China’s diplomatic relations with Indonesia have seen ups and downs, Wu sees a significant increase in cooperation in recent years.

“Tonight, let me congratulate the 75th HUT RI. I know that the Indonesian people’s struggle is strong enough to lead to independence,” he said.

Ambassador Djauhari also expressed his gratitude to the Chinese government for prioritizing vaccines for Indonesia.
