Chinese president says Beijing considers unilateral policies of individual countries unproductive
The Chinese authorities intend to pursue an open policy towards other countries and join efforts against the coronavirus with interested states. Chinese President Xi Jinping said on Tuesday.
“China intends to join hands with other countries in combating the new coronavirus pandemic”, – he said at the opening ceremony of the Asian Economic Forum in Boao (AEFB), addressing participants with a video message. – “China will continue to increase its openness to the rest of the world. <…> We are also in favour of strengthening the principles of multilateral cooperation, of strengthening the status of the WTO.”
