Hungary is sending 523,000 doses of the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine to Cambodia in an effort to further aid the worldwide fight against the pandemic, Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó said on Thursday.
Although the war in Ukraine overshadows it, the fight against the pandemic is not over, and many countries lack the vaccines to ease their struggle, Szijjártó said in a post on Facebook.
Hungary has so far donated 4.7 million doses of vaccine to 18 countries, in an effort to raise global vaccination rate and thus reduce the chance of new variants emerging, he said.
