Chinese State Councilor and Foreign
Minister Wang Yi said Monday that China will stick to solidarity and
mutual assistance and join hands with other countries to eventually
defeat the COVID-19 pandemic.
Wang
made the remarks at the special event of the Foreign Ministry to
present Hubei Province to the world, with the theme -- Heroic Hubei:
Reborn for New Glories.
The
anti-epidemic efforts in Hubei is an epitome of China's anti-epidemic
efforts and a display of Chinese spirit and strength, Wang said.
Noting
that April 8 marked the first anniversary of the COVID-19 lockdown
lifting in Wuhan, Wang said as the first place to report the epidemic
and the first to control it, the first anniversary of ending the
lockdown in Wuhan is commemorated and celebrated by the Chinese people
and attracts a lot of attention all over the world.
Hubei
and provincial capital Wuhan had been the frontline and main
battlefield in the fight against the epidemic, and people there had not
only made great sacrifices for China to overcome the epidemic, but also
made important contributions to the global fight against COVID-19, Wang
said.
After the epidemic was brought
under control, he said, the people in Hubei immediately embarked on a
new journey of restoring economic and social development, and achieved
fruitful results in promoting post-epidemic recovery as well as stable
economic and social development.
"It is expected that economic growth will reach more than 10 percent in Hubei this year," Wang added.
In
the fight against the epidemic in Hubei and Wuhan, China received
support and help from many countries, he said, adding that after the
pandemic spread globally, China also extended a helping hand to other
nations.
"This unprecedented epidemic has made us realize deeply that the world is indeed a community with a shared future," he said.
Noting
that the COVID-19 pandemic is still spreading globally and the global
economy is still facing the risk of recession, Wang called on countries
to join hands together and combat "vaccine nationalism".
Wand
said that China has provided anti-epidemic materials to more than 160
countries and international organizations around the world so far and is
providing urgently needed vaccines to more than 100 countries and
international organizations.
China
will continue to make its efforts to maintain the stability of the
global anti-epidemic materials supply chain and provide support to
countries in need, he said.
"China
will stick to solidarity and mutual assistance and join hands with other
countries to eventually defeat the COVID-19 pandemic," Wang said.
China
will adhere to opening-up and cooperation, and work with other
countries to promote the recovery of the world economy, he said.
"China,
which continues to open wider to the outside world, will further deepen
mutually beneficial cooperation with other countries and inject more
impetus into the recovery of the global economy," Wang said.
Noting
that China will uphold multilateralism, Wang said the country will hold
high the banner of a community with a shared future for humanity,
adhere to the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution
and shared benefits, safeguard the international order based on the UN
Charter, and improve the global governance system.
