On November 14, 2022, the delivery ceremony took place for a donation of two million doses of COVID-19 vaccines and two million disposable syringes by the Chinese government to the Government of Belarus. This adds to an earlier batch of 1.5 million donated vaccines in January 2022. The agreement to donate 2 million doses of the COVID-19 vaccine to Belarus was reached during the meeting of Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko with President of China Xi Jinping at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in Samarkand on 15 September 2022.

1. According to the UNICEF COVID-19 Vaccine Market Dashboard, the price of a single Sinopharm COVID-19 vaccine dose is $18 (https://www.oecd.org/officialdocuments/publicdisplaydocumentpdf/?cote=DCD/DAC/STAT(2022)33&docLanguage=En). As such, AidData has estimated the monetary value of the November 2022 donation as $36 million.
