ArmInfo. China is an example in the field of international cooperation in the fight against coronavirus. Armenian Ambassador to China Sergey Manasaryan stated this in an interview with <China> magazine.
Touching upon the assistance that China could provide Armenia in overcoming the pandemic, the Armenian diplomat first stated that the containment of the pandemic was made possible thanks to decisive measures by the Chinese government, as well as courage, indefatigability and selflessness of the Chinese people.
At the same time, he added that the new type of coronavirus pandemic once again proved that international cooperation and solidarity are the only effective way to counter global challenges, since no region of the world can avoid the spread of the virus.
"Therefore, a collective response from the international community is needed. China serves as an example in the field of international cooperation in the fight against coronavirus. I agree with Chinese President Xi Jinping, who stressed during the videoconference of the leaders of the G-20 member countries that we must fully intensify international cooperation and ensure greater coherence so that humanity as a whole can win the battle against such a serious infectious disease, "Manasaryan noted.
At the same time, the diplomat noted that to date, China has not only triumphed over COVID-19, but has also begun to actively help others. He recalled that China provides support to Armenia in the form of supplies of funds to combat the outbreak, for which the Armenian side expresses its sincere gratitude to the government and people of the PRC.
"This fact once again shows the existence of strong friendly relations between Armenia and China. In this regard, I would like to thank the government and the Chinese Embassy in Armenia for the assistance provided and note that with the help of our friends, Armenia will also be able to overcome the COVID-19 pandemic.
We also expect that medical experts and epidemiologists from China will continue to provide expert support to Armenian doctors, sharing their experience in the prevention and control of the outbreak. Two similar videoconferences have already been held between specialized medical institutions of Armenia and China, the last of them with the participation of specialists from Chongqing. I am convinced that the joint fight against the pandemic will make our bilateral relations even closer, "said the Armenian Ambassador to China.
