Kamil said that despite difficulties caused by the COVID-19 epidemic, the medical team has won the respect and praise of Djibouti patients with its noble medical ethics, superb medical skills and dedication, for which the government and people of Djibouti are deeply grateful. 

He expressed hope that the medical aid team to Djibouti will help deepen exchange and cooperation between the two countries in the field of medicine and healthcare, and benefit more people in Djibouti.
