Coronavirus: Mike Pompeo calls for China cooperation as tensions renew
WASHINGTON - US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and a top Chinese official on Wednesday called for mutual coronavirus cooperation, signalling a bid to keep a lid on their countries' renewing tensions.
Pompeo"noted the aid the American people delivered to the people of China in January - and continue to offer - and the high importance we attach to China's facilitation of medical supply exports to meet critical demand in the United States," the State Department said. The country would also work to implement the consensus reached among Group of 20 nations - the world's largest economies - to keep global supply chains stable and promote economic stability, Xinhua said.
According to Yang, the two sides have since"maintained close communication on anti-epidemic efforts in line with the important consensus reached by the two heads of state," Xinhua said.
