On April 30, 2021, President Xi Jinping sent a message of condolence to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the COVID-19 pandemic in the country.

Xi Jinping said in his message that I am very concerned about the pandemic situation in India. On behalf of the Chinese government and people as well as in my own name, I would like to express sincere sympathies to the Indian government and people. The human race belongs to a community with a shared future. Only through solidarity and cooperation can all countries across the world defeat the pandemic finally. China is willing to strengthen anti-pandemic cooperation with India, and provide support and help to the country. I believe under the leadership of the Indian government, its people will surely overcome the pandemic.
