Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 2nd: President Xi Jinping and Belgian King Philly made a regular phone call on the 2nd.
Xi Jinping pointed out that at present, the epidemic of new crown pneumonia is spreading globally and Europe and Belgium are facing severe challenges. On behalf of the Chinese government and the Chinese people, I would like to express my sincere condolences and firm support to the Belgian royal family, the government and the Belgian people. During the crucial period of China's fight against the epidemic, all walks of life in Belgium expressed condolences and support to China in different ways, reflecting the profound friendship of the two peoples. China is willing to take the urgency and try its best to help solve the current shortage of epidemic prevention materials, share the beneficial experience of epidemic prevention and control, and jointly promote cooperation in the areas of vaccine and drug research and development. I believe that under the leadership of the Belgian royal family and government, the Belgian people will be able to defeat the epidemic. I hope, for example, that we attach great importance to and ensure the safety and security of Chinese citizens, especially international students, in Belgium.
Xi Jinping emphasized that the virus has no national borders, regardless of race, and is a common challenge facing all humankind. The international community can only succeed if it forms a joint force. China upholds the concept of a community of shared future for mankind and comprehensively strengthens international cooperation. At the G20 Special Summit on Coronary Pneumonia recently held recently, I made an initiative on international cooperation to fight the epidemic and stabilize the world economy. On the basis of consolidating the results of epidemic prevention and control, China will intensify the resumption of work and production across the country, overcome difficulties, give priority to the restoration and improvement of the medical epidemic prevention assets, and implement strict quality supervision measures to provide as much material guarantee as possible for the global epidemic prevention.
Xi Jinping emphasized that His Majesty the King actively promoted the development of China-Belgium relations, and China expressed appreciation and expressed his willingness to work with the parties to overcome the impact of the epidemic, coordinate and advance cooperation in various fields, and promote the development of China-Belgium and China-EU relations.
Philip said that the current epidemic of new crown pneumonia has hit countries around the world. China took the lead in controlling the epidemic, and China's experience has important implications for other countries. China has provided support and contributed to the fight against the epidemic. For example, thank China for providing urgently needed medical protection supplies. For example, they are willing to cooperate with China in drug development. Tribulation sees true love. China is a true friend of Belgium. I will always cherish this friendship and continue to actively promote exchanges and cooperation between the two countries.
