Tokyo [Japan], June 3 (ANI): Japan has decided to supply 1.2 million doses of a COVID-19 vaccine to Taiwan, a move that is set to irk China who Taipei has accused of blocking their access to the much-needed vaccine.
Tokyo plans to send the doses of AstraZeneca as early as Friday, NHK World reported. This development comes as Prime Minister Suga Yoshihide had pledged at an online summit to send 30 million vaccine doses overseas.
Last week, Japan had said it would consider sharing its COVID-19 vaccines with other countries as a ruling party committee urged it to provide a portion of its AstraZeneca vaccine stock to Taiwan.
