South Korea pledges more cooperation with ASEAN to distribute vaccine

Seoul, Oct 26 (Prensa Latina) South Korea will provide five million dollars to a regional fund to help Southeast Asian countries increase their immunization rates, President Moon Jae-in announced on Tuesday.

The president made the pledge virtually, during South Korea’s annual group summit with leaders of the member countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

Moon expressed his concern that the global economic recovery is being hampered by the rapid spread of the highly-contagious SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant.

South Korea has actively participated in the ASEAN Response Fund against Covid-19, and the regional reserve of essential medical supplies.
