As India battles the COVID-19 pandemic, Taiwan will be sending Oxygen generators to the country this week.
Taipei will make formal announcements ahead of departure.
In a tweet statement, Kolas Yotaka, Taiwan Presidential Office Spokesperson said, “First shipment of oxygen generators from Taiwan to India is leaving this week. We are all in this together.”
India is keen to procure essentials related to oxygen, like generators, concentrators, and others as many hospitals in the country are facing scarcity amid mounting COVID cases.
Taiwan has been lauded for the way it dealt with COVID cases on its territory.
Spontaneous support has been seen in Taiwan for India, with the President, Vice President, Foreign ministry, and others tweeting in a show of solidarity.
President Tsai Ing-wen in a tweet statement said, “On behalf of all Taiwanese people, I would like to express my serious concern over the rapid spread of COVID-19 in India. Taiwan stands with India in this difficult time, & we are ready to provide help.”
Vice President Lai Ching-te said, “I wish to express my heartfelt solidarity with the Indian people. The global COVID crisis is far from over but we will get through it together.”
