China has announced $ 2 billion in aid to the World Fund for Coronavirus
At the same time, China has said that if it develops a vaccine against the epidemic, it will be for the good of the people of the world. According to the French news agency AFP, Chinese President Xi Jinping said in a speech to the World Health Organization's Health Assembly on Monday.
President Xi Jinping said China would provide 2 billion over two years to support global efforts to fight the epidemic.
"It must overcome the epidemic first."
According to AFP, China is currently conducting clinical trials of five possible vaccines and many other countries around the world are trying to find a way to prevent the epidemic.
Zheng Zhixin, deputy director of China's National Health Commission, said last week that more vaccines were in the pipeline and were awaiting approval for human testing. On the other hand, experts say that it will take one to one and a half years or more to develop an effective vaccine.
The World Health Organization's World Health Assembly is being held online for the first time in its history, which will consider a resolution tabled by the European Union. The resolution called for an impartial, independent and comprehensive review of the world's response to the Corona epidemic.
Addressing the World Health Assembly, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhnom reiterated his commitment to
"An impartial inquiry into the corona virus epidemic."
The global response will be considered and measures will be proposed to prepare for such situations in the future.
Chinese President Xi Jinping said that the inquiry into the response to the epidemic should include the experiences of the countries and recommendations for overcoming the shortcomings.
It should be noted that the governments of the United States and Australia have in recent weeks called for an investigation into the spread of the corona virus, which has led to increased diplomatic tensions between the United States and China. President Trump and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have repeatedly accused China of spreading the corona virus and of lack of transparency, saying
"the virus was developed in Wuhan's laboratory."
Most experts say the virus has been transmitted from animals to humans.
China has denied the allegations in a statement issued Friday stating "Similar, baseless allegations concerning China's intelligence have been made more than once.
Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishostein said on Monday that the spread of the corona virus in his country had been stopped.
