国内英语资讯:Chinese ambassador calls for greater global governance, Sino-U.S. cooperation, rejects polit

The United States and China have to facilitate bilateral cooperation on combating COVID-19 to save the future of the global community, the ambassador noted.

"Let's work together to respond to this global crisis, to save people's lives, to save the future of global economy, and to save the future of the global community. This is our paramount task," Cui said.

"This is the time for solidarity and cooperation," said Cui. "Let's concentrate on the positive things. Let's focus on our common interests and mutual needs," he noted.

The Chinese envoy listed three things to which the embassy gives priority "at this critical moment" as COVID-19 is ravaging the world.

The first is to facilitate cooperation between the two countries to combat the virus, in particular medical supplies and technical cooperation between governmental and research institutions.

Secondly, good efforts should be made to stabilize global market, boost global economic growth, and protect people's jobs and livelihood. The third is to ensure a supportive public opinion for cooperation between the two countries.

On the economic front, there is "an even greater need for closer and more effective global cooperation" as COVID-19 has disrupted the global supply chain, Cui stressed.

"This pandemic proves again this is a global challenge. The virus recognizes no national boundaries, no difference in political system, in culture, in religion whatsoever. It attacks all of us the same way. So there is an even greater need for closer and more effective global cooperation," said Cui, responding to a question concerning stability of the global supply chain under the threat of the virus.
