  Wang Wenbin said that on October 22, the National Health Commission of China and the Ministry of Health and Sports of Myanmar jointly held a video seminar for experts on the new crown pneumonia epidemic.

Representatives from the health departments of the two countries and the Chinese Embassy in Myanmar attended the meeting.

China believes that as long as a country is still threatened by the epidemic, all countries should work together to persist in the fight against the epidemic.

China is willing to work with neighboring countries to jointly improve the level of joint prevention and control, enhance the exchange of prevention and control diagnosis and treatment experience, strengthen cooperation in vaccine research and development, production and use, and jointly overcome the epidemic as soon as possible.
