DAKAR, March 28 (Xinhua) -- Senegalese Minister of Foreign Affairs Amadou Ba on Saturday expressed "sincere thanks" of Senegalese authorities to China for taking care of its students blocked in Wuhan during the outbreak of COVID-19.
Speaking at the daily COVID-19 briefing, the Senegalese chief diplomat said China has shown "a lot of solidarity" by ensuring the supply of essential goods and medical follow-up to Senegalese students living in Wuhan.
During the COVID-19 epidemic, Senegalese President Macky Sall decided not to repatriate the country's students.
Given most of the COVID-19 cases in Senegal are imported ones, Ba also called for non-discrimination against Senegalese living abroad, as well as foreigners living in Senegal.
Senegalese Ministry of Health and Social Action reported 11 new cases of COVID-19 on Saturday morning, bringing the country's total number of cases to 130. Enditem
