New Delhi: To express strong friendship with India in its fight against a new wave of Covid 19 pandemic, Taiwan is delivering critical medical supplies to India. The first batch of 150 oxygen concentrators and 500 oxygen cylinders arrived in New Delhi on Sunday.

The following batches of medical equipment will be airlifted to India soon. Taiwan is committed to providing necessary assistance to the people of India in time of need.

On behalf of the Government of Taiwan, the Taipei Economic and Cultural Center in India said it wishes to reaffirm the friendly bilateral relations between Taiwan and India.

Taiwan’s deployment of medical supplies is testament to the close collaboration and partnership across multiple agencies on both sides. It also reflects the robust relief efforts and contributions made by the Government and people of Taiwan to bring humanitarian relief to India.

While the contribution is modest, we hope that it will bring comfort and relief to the patients in need and ease the burden on the healthcare workers who are working tirelessly to fight the pandemic, TECC said.

President Tsai Ing-wen on April 27 conveyed solidarity with India and expressed deep concern about India’s situation. As India logged a record-breaking daily surge of coronavirus infection for consecutive days, Tsai said that Taiwan “stand with India” during this difficult time while offering to provide help.

Vice President Lai Cing-te also 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.”

Taiwan’s Foreign Minister, Dr. Joseph Wu tweeted, “The government & people of Taiwan are seriously concerned about the COVID19 situation in India. We're closely monitoring developments & holding in-depth discussions aimed at providing requisite support to our Indian friends at a time of great need.”
