According to the "Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson's Office", at a regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on February 25, a reporter asked: At present, the number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in Japan and South Korea is increasing, and the situation of epidemic prevention and control is becoming increasingly serious. Will China impose restrictions on Japan and South Korea from entering the country?
Zhao Lijian: China is paying close attention to the development of new crown pneumonia outbreaks in Japan and South Korea, and we share this experience. Since the outbreak of the epidemic, the governments and people of Japan and South Korea have provided valuable support and assistance to the Chinese people in fighting the epidemic, and China is deeply grateful for this. China, Japan and South Korea are close neighbors to each other. Neighbors should watch and help each other and strengthen cooperation. We are willing to share information and experience with Japan and South Korea while working hard to fight the epidemic in our country, and provide support and assistance within our capacity according to their needs.
In the face of the epidemic, I think it is the responsibility of all countries to protect the lives and health of their people, and maintain regional and global public health security. We are willing to work closely with relevant countries such as Japan and South Korea to explore ways to strengthen joint prevention and control, and take appropriate and necessary measures to effectively prevent the spread of the epidemic across borders and jointly safeguard regional and global public health security.
