“The Parsis of India—Zoroastrians whose ancestors long ago emigrated to India—have remained ever faithful in their love for Iran. Grateful for their #Covid19 package for Iranians. We also sent 40,000 advanced Iran-made test kits to #Germany, #Turkey and others,” Zarif tweeted late on Friday.
Recently, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani issued an order to boost the production of homegrown test kits for the diagnosis of the novel coronavirus in order to pave the way for their export.
The president underlined that the homegrown production should satisfy the domestic demands and allow for the export of the test kits to the countries needing them.
Last month, Rouhani highlighted Iran’s success in dealing with the novel coronavirus outbreak, saying the Islamic Republic has begun to export the health supplies necessary for the fight against COVID-19 after meeting the domestic demand.
