On the evening of May 18, President Xi Jinping delivered a speech entitled "Unite and cooperate to overcome the epidemic and jointly build a human health and health community" at the opening ceremony of the 73rd World Health Assembly video conference. This is the evening of March 26, after the leaders of the Group of Twenty G20 leaders made an important speech in response to the New Crown Pneumonia Special Summit, President Xi Jinping once again participated in the international conference by video.
Xi Jinping emphasized that in the face of the new global pneumonia epidemic, the most serious global public health emergency since the end of World War II, people of all countries bravely moved forward and watched each other for help. China adheres to the principle of putting people first and life first. It has always maintained an open, transparent and responsible attitude, and has always upheld the concept of building a community of human destiny. It is not only responsible for the safety and health of its people, but also responsible for global public health.
From the height of jointly building a human health and health community, President Xi Jinping profoundly elaborated China's anti-epidemic propositions and put forward a series of important initiatives, which are very important for boosting global anti-epidemic confidence, advancing international anti-epidemic cooperation, and drawing a future global governance system Realistic and far-reaching significance.
The current situation of the global new coronary pneumonia epidemic is very complex and severe. It is imperative to make every effort to prevent and control the epidemic.
"We must adhere to the people-oriented, life-oriented, scientifically deploy medical forces and important materials, take effective measures in protection, isolation, detection, treatment, tracking and other important fields, as soon as possible to curb the spread of the epidemic in the world, and try our best to prevent the epidemic from crossing the border. Dissemination. We must strengthen information sharing, exchange useful experiences and practices, carry out international cooperation in detection methods, clinical treatment, vaccine drug development, and continue to support scientists from all over the world to carry out global scientific research on the source and spread of viruses. "President Xi Jinping said in his speech Various countries have put forward specific proposals to strengthen cooperation and work together to combat the epidemic.
Prior to this, Xi Jinping repeatedly emphasized that the international community should strengthen cooperation, work closely with the World Health Organization, effectively carry out international cooperation in joint prevention and control, and gather strong synergy to overcome the epidemic.
The World Health Organization is the core force for coordinated global anti-epidemic cooperation. Under the leadership of Director General Tan Desai, WHO has made significant contributions to leading and advancing international anti-epidemic cooperation, which is highly appreciated by the international community. Xi Jinping said that at present, international anti-epidemic disease is at a critical stage. Supporting WHO is to support international anti-epidemic cooperation and support saving lives.
China firmly supports WHO ’s leadership role and has donated US $ 50 million to WHO, and makes every effort to facilitate the procurement of medical protective materials in China by other countries.
Humanity will eventually overcome the epidemic, but major public health emergencies will not be the last for humanity. Xi Jinping said that in view of the shortcomings and deficiencies exposed by the epidemic, the public health safety governance system should be improved, the speed of emergency response to public health emergencies should be improved, and global and regional epidemic prevention material reserve centers should be established.
Strengthening global public health governance requires the cooperation of the international community to fill the shortcomings. At present, the public health systems of developing countries, especially African countries, are weak and vulnerable to severe shocks. Helping them build a line of defense not only saves lives but also delays the global spread of the virus and builds a "firewall" for the global public health system.
Xi Jinping said that we should provide more material, technical and human support to African countries. At present, China has delivered a large amount of medical aid materials to more than 50 African countries and the African Union, and has specially dispatched 5 medical expert groups. 46 Chinese medical teams resident in Africa are investing in local anti-epidemic operations.
The epidemic is our common enemy. Just as President Xi Jinping ’s initiative at the G20 Leaders ’Special Summit on New Coronary Pneumonia, countries“ have to discuss the establishment of a regional public health emergency liaison mechanism to increase the speed of emergency response to public health emergencies. ”
The epidemic is both a war and a test. This is true for China and the world.

This is an important experience gained by the international community in combating major epidemics such as AIDS, Ebola, avian influenza, and H1N1 influenza. It is the people of all countries. The right way to cooperate against epidemic. "
The road is not alone. In the early stage of the outbreak of New Coronary Pneumonia, China reported the outbreak to WHO as soon as possible, shared the new coronavirus gene sequence with other countries in the world, and established a regular communication mechanism for outbreak information.
During the most difficult times in China, many members of the international community gave sincere help and support. The Chinese people always remember and cherish this friendship. A message of condolences from President Xi Jinping was sent to the heads of state and government of Italy, Iran, South Korea, Spain, Serbia, Germany, France and other countries as well as the heads of the European Council and the European Commission.
The virus has no borders, and no country can be alone in the face of the epidemic. Only by working together can we overcome the epidemic, stabilize the economy, and restore order.
