With the spread of COVID-19 around the world, the fight against the pandemic has become the new normal. When the epidemic broke out in China, Iran was one of the first wave of countries to donate medical supplies to China. Now it is China's turn to return the favor.

Dr. Khalil Shirgholami accepted the donation on behalf of the Iranian government, and extended thanks for the support from China. He said that not just the Chinese government, but enterprises and people from all sectors of the society have offered help for the fight against the coronavirus in Iran. He believes that the two countries will have a closer relationship after the pandemic.
