China News Agency, Beijing, March 25 (Huang Yuqin) At the regular press conference on the 25th, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Geng Shuang, introduced in detail China's convenience for foreign countries' commercial procurement of medical supplies in China. He said that while China is meeting domestic demand, it is also working hard to facilitate the procurement of medical supplies in China by various countries, and has not adopted any restrictions on foreign trade.
Geng Shuang pointed out that since the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, China has always maintained that the international community should jointly maintain an open world economy and the stability of the global supply chain and industry chain. At the same time that we are meeting domestic needs, we are also working hard to facilitate the procurement of medical supplies in China by various countries. We have not adopted any restrictions on foreign trade, and we have always supported encouraging enterprises to expand their exports in an orderly manner.
"As far as I know, buyers from multiple countries including Azerbaijan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Brunei, Czech Republic, Djibouti, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Qatar, Mexico, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Turkey, United Kingdom and other countries have Chinese companies have signed procurement contracts, which mainly include testing reagents, masks, protective clothing, goggles, etc. "Geng Shuang said.
He said that in addition to facilitating the commercial procurement of medical supplies in China, China is also actively providing protective supplies to WHO to support other countries in fighting the epidemic. After the World Health Organization proposed that it would purchase medical supplies in China to support the global response to the epidemic, Chinese companies have quickly signed the first supply contracts with WHO.
"I believe that China's business community will continue to provide the international community with more anti-epidemic materials, Chinese companies will resume production and resume work, and economic and social recovery and development will continue to provide strong support for the international community to cope with the epidemic situation." Geng Shuang said, "I I also believe that strengthening cooperation, reducing barriers, and facilitating trade are in the common interest of the international community. "(End)
