Xi Jinping Holds Telephone Conversation with Ecuadorian President Moreno

  Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, June 16th: President Xi Jinping held a telephone conversation with Ecuadorian President Moreno on the evening of June 16.

  Xi Jinping pointed out that the current epidemic of new pneumonia has spread in Ecuador. On behalf of the Chinese government and the Chinese people, I express my sincere condolences. When China's anti-epidemic efforts were most strenuous, the Ecuadorian government promptly assisted China in providing anti-epidemic materials. After the outbreak in Ecuador, the Chinese government, local governments, enterprises, and non-governmental organizations quickly helped, interpreting the friendly tradition of mutual support and assistance between China and Ecuador. China will continue to firmly support Ecuador's anti-epidemic struggle, provide necessary assistance as far as possible, and explore cooperation in research and development and production of vaccines and drugs. I believe that under your leadership, Ecuador will be able to overcome the epidemic as soon as possible and return to the track of healthy development. It is hoped that Ecuador will continue to provide guarantees for the work and life of Chinese-funded enterprises and Chinese citizens in Ecuador.

  Xi Jinping pointed out that the global epidemic situation is still developing, and only by uniting and cooperating with other countries can they win the battle. China is willing to continue to carry out anti-epidemic cooperation with other countries and jointly promote the building of a human health and health community. China firmly supports strengthening the coordination of macro policies of various countries, promoting the stability of the world economy, and promoting the improvement of global governance.

  Xi Jinping emphasized that in 2018, you successfully paid a state visit to China, and we have reached many important consensuses. Through the joint efforts of both sides, the two countries have achieved fruitful cooperation in various fields. China attaches great importance to developing China-Ecuadorian relations and is willing to actively communicate with Ecuador to overcome the difficulties caused by the epidemic, restart and promote pragmatic cooperation, and push the comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Ecuador to a new level after the epidemic to better benefit the two peoples.

  Moreno said that the Chinese government and the Chinese people have provided Ecuador with valuable assistance and support in fighting the new coronary pneumonia epidemic and played an important role in responding to the epidemic. China is an important comprehensive strategic partner of Ecuador, and Ecuador-China cooperation is friendly and mutually beneficial. The Ecuadorian side hopes to learn from China's successful anti-epidemic experience, strengthen cooperation, help Ecuador overcome difficulties, overcome the epidemic situation, and revive economic development. I would like to maintain close contacts with President Xi Jinping and jointly promote the continuous development of Ecuador-China relations.
