The Ministry of Commerce held a regular online press conference on the 18th. A reporter asked that there was a previous statement that the outbreak in Beijing may be related to seafood imported from abroad. Will the Ministry of Commerce consider temporarily suspending the import of cold-chain transported meat, fish and seafood from countries with severe outbreaks?
In this regard, Gao Feng pointed out that increasing the import of food and agricultural products is an important part of my country's active import policy. Imported food and agricultural products should comply with China's relevant inspection and quarantine regulations.
"We will work with relevant departments to strengthen communication and coordination with relevant countries, control the quality and safety of imported food and agricultural products from the source, and ensure the health and safety of Chinese consumers." Gao Feng said.
