As twinned cities, Ungheni and Nanchang helped each other to overcome the difficulties, becoming a nice story about the friendship between the two nations. The high-performance multifunctional ultrasound system we donated to the COVID-19 triage center at Moldexpo has played an important role in the diagnosing and treatment of patients, being appreciated by many doctors. “A friend in need is a friend indeed” and the traditional friendship between China and Moldova was again highlighted in our common fight against the pandemic!” said the ambassador.
