Xi calls for int'l solidarity, cooperation amid global crisis

Chinese President Xi Jinping has called for solidarity and cooperation of the international community amid a global crisis.

He made the remarks in a special address at the 2022 World Economic Forum² virtual session.

He has called on the world to do everything necessary to clear the shadow of the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Thanks to the concerted efforts of the international community, major progress has been made in the global fight against the pandemic. That said, the pandemic is proving a protracted³ one, resurging with more variants⁴ and spreading faster than before. It poses a serious threat to people's safety and health, and exerts a profound impact on the global economy. Strong confidence and cooperation represent the only right way to defeat the pandemic.”

The Chinese President adds that economic globalization is the trend of the times and countries around the world should uphold true multilateralism.

Red Cross Society of China provides emergency aid to Tonga

The Red Cross Society of China has decided⁷ to provide 100,000 U.S. dollars in emergency aid to Tonga to help the country deal with the aftermath of the destruction caused by the undersea volcano eruption⁸.

Foreign Ministry⁹ spokesperson Zhao Lijian says China is ready to provide more humanitarian¹⁰ assistance based on the needs of Tonga.

The eruption and its ensuing tsunami¹¹ are believed to have displaced people, severed¹² communications and suspended flights, though there have been no immediate¹³ reports of injuries or damage, as the country's internet access to the outside world has been disrupted.
