President Xi Jinping has pledged that China will donate one billion additional coronavirus vaccine doses to Africa. Mr Xi says 600 million jabs would be sent directly, while the remainder would be delivered by other means, including through investing in vaccine production sites in Africa. President Xi made the promise during the triennial China-Africa forum which is underway in Senegal. He also said Beijing would encourage Chinese companies to invest $10bn in Africa over the next three years.
