BEIJING (Xinhua): Chinese State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi called on his South Korean and Japanese counterparts to work together to minimise Covid-19's impact on bilateral exchanges as well as economic and trade cooperation in separate phone calls on Wednesday (Feb 26).
In a phone conversation on Wednesday night with South Korean Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha, Wang suggested that on the basis of effective epidemic prevention and control, the two countries should help their affected industries and enterprises ride out the current difficulties, maintain the stability of their industrial chains and supply chains, and push forward bilateral practical cooperation.
In a separate phone conversation with Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, Wang suggested that China and Japan jointly ensure the stability of their industrial chains and supply chains and reduce the epidemic's impact upon bilateral cooperation as much as possible. Wang said he believed that maintaining normal economic and trade cooperation between China and Japan would constitute an important contribution to the world's economic stability and development.
China and Japan need to boost coordination to prevent cross-border spread of Covid-19 and effectively safeguard public health in both countries and the region at large, Wang said Wang urged the two countries to actively explore ways to strengthen international cooperation on public health within multilateral frameworks. - Xinhua
