As Latin America faces a critical phase in the global pandemic fight, China has stepped up with essential medical support for Colombia. 🚑 The aid includes ventilators, masks, and testing kits, reflecting a growing trend of cross-continental cooperation during health crises.
Colombian health officials called the delivery \"a lifeline for overwhelmed hospitals\", while China emphasized solidarity with nations hardest hit by COVID-19. 🤝 Experts say this move strengthens diplomatic ties through \"mask diplomacy\" – a pandemic-era strategy blending humanitarian aid with soft power.
