BEIJING, May 27-- China is willing to continue providing assistance to, and share its experience with Kyrgyzstan in COVID-19 prevention and control, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Tuesday. In a phone call with his Kyrgyz counterpart Chingiz Aidarbekov, Wang also said that the national security legislation for Hong Kong can improve Hong Kong's legal system, stabilize its social order, and contribute to the maintenance of the "one country, two systems" principle as well as Hong Kong's enduring prosperity and stability. Wang said viruses know no borders and launch attacks against the whole humanity. Noting that China and Kyrgyzstan are friendly neighbors linked by mountains and rivers, Wang said the two countries should fight side by side to jointly cope with the COVID-19 pandemic. Wang thanked the Kyrgyz side for its support to China in its anti-epidemic fight, saying that when China held a national day of mourning to honor COVID-19 victims not long ago, the Kyrgyz Embassy in China flew its flags at half-mast and all embassy staff donated their one day's wage, which has moved the Chinese people deeply. China empathizes with Kyrgyzstan's current difficulties and is willing to continue providing as much help as it can to facilitate Kyrgyzstan's procurement of medical supplies in China, and share its experience in COVID-19 prevention and control as well as treatment scheme, said Wang. Noting the COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the economic development of both China and Kyrgyzstan, Wang said that the two sides should keep the momentum of cooperation and overcome difficulties together. |
