“We hope these supplies can meet Fiji people's urgent needs in the COVID-19 response. We also expect to deepen our ties with Fiji and contribute to friendly cooperation between Fiji and China. Hope all Chinese people staying in Fiji and Fiji people are safe and sound and Fiji can overcome the COVID-19 crisis as soon as possible,” Li said.

At the donation ceremony, Qian Bo accepted the donations virtually and offered his congratulations to GPHL as it entered the Fortune Global 500 list in 2021. “China has maintained deep-rooted friendship with Fiji. The two countries work together to tide over difficulties and develop mutually beneficial cooperation,” Qian Bo said. “Concern about the 'new normal' in times of COVID-19, China will continue to work with Fiji to strengthen people-to-people and cultural exchanges, jointly build the Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, and explore further cooperation in trade, investment, infrastructure, transportation, communication, tourism.”

Chen Qiuyan hopes that the donation can enhance the friendship between Fiji and China and win the hearts and minds of people in Fiji and Guangdong. Zhan Decun pointed out that Guangzhou FAO will, under the guidance of Guangdong FAO, ensure the donation to Fiji to go smoothly, helping Fiji fight against the health crisis.

As the first company to enter this list with traditional Chinese medicine as its major business, GPHL has always assumed social responsibility. Since the spread of the virus, GPHL has donated 30 million RMB and offered COVID-19 response assistance to many other countries including Indonesia, Iran, the Republic of Benin and the Republic of Kenya.
