Egypt signs two agreements with China to produce COVID-19 vaccine

Egypt has signed two agreements with China to produce the Chinese COVID-19 vaccine locally.

On 21 April, Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly witnessed the signing ceremony of between Egypt’s vaccine and sera producing facility VACSERA and China’s Sinovac biopharmaceutical company. Attending the signing ceremony were Egypt’s Health Minister Hala Zayed, Egypt’s ambassador to Beijing Mohamed al-Badry and China’s ambassador to Cairo Liao Liqiang. The top officials of Sinovac and VACSERA signed the agreements.

According to Dr Zayed, the first agreement stipulates that Sinovac provides VACSERA with the know-how and technical assistance for manufacturing the COVID-19 vaccine in Egypt, whereas through the second Sinovac gives VACSERA the license to manufacture, re-pack and pack the COVID-19 vaccine in VACSERA facilities.

Under the agreements, Sinovac may provide the necessary training for VACSERA employees in Egypt or in China.

Earlier this month, Dr Zayed had said that Egypt would be producing the vaccine Sinopharm through coordination between Sinovac and VACSERA. She said two production lines will manufacture the vaccine, one at a 20 million dose per year capacity, the other at 60 million. This would make the vaccine accessible not only to Egypt, but to Arab and African countries as well.

Watani started as an Egyptian weekly Sunday newspaper published in Cairo. The word Watani is Arabic for “My Homeland”. The paper was founded in 1958 by the prominent Copt Antoun Sidhom (1915 – 1995), who strove for the establishment of a civil, democratic society in Egypt, where all Egyptians would enjoy full citizenship rights regardless of their religious denomination. To this day when Watani is published as a weekly paper and an online news site, the objective remains the same. Those in charge of Watani view this role as a patriotic all-Egyptian vocation. Special attention is given to shedding light on Coptic culture and tradition as authentically Egyptian, this being a topic largely disregarded or little-understood by Egypt’s media. Watani is deeply dedicated to offer its readers high quality, extensive, objective, credible and well-researched media coverage, with special focus on Coptic issues, culture, heritage, and contribution to Egyptian society.
