Xi Jinping speaks on the phone with Qatar's Emir Tamim

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 11th-Chinese President Xi Jinping made a telephone conversation with Qatar's Emir Tamim on the evening of the 11th.

Xi Jinping pointed out that at the critical moment of China's fight against the new crown pneumonia epidemic, Kazakhstan has repeatedly expressed its support to China and provided assistance to China in transporting anti-epidemic materials through the Qatar Aviation Network. China expresses its deep gratitude and appreciation for this. The Chinese people's true feelings of trials and hardships are deeply moved. China attaches great importance to the development of China-Cambodia relations, and is willing to work together with Kazakhstan to continue to support each other on issues involving each other's core interests and major concerns, and to promote bilateral relations to a new level.

Xi Jinping emphasized that since the outbreak, China has acted nationwide, responded with all its strength, and adopted the most thorough and rigorous measures to prevent and control the people's war. At present, our prevention and control work is achieving positive results. Relying on the unification of the Chinese people, the institutional advantages of focusing on major events, strong material and technical foundations, and rich practical experience, we have the confidence, ability, and confidence to win the battle against epidemic prevention and control.

Xi Jinping emphasized that China is responsible for the safety and physical health of the Chinese people, and has also made a positive contribution to safeguarding world public health security. It is precisely because China has adopted strong prevention and control measures that it has not formed a large-scale spread internationally. It is hoped that countries will know and follow the WHO guidelines on travel and health in a timely manner. China is willing to maintain close communication with Qatar and timely report the latest situation of the epidemic, guarantee the life and health of Qatari citizens in China, and effectively safeguard the health and safety of the two peoples.

On behalf of the Qatari government and people, Tamim expressed his firm support to the Chinese government and people in their efforts to fight the epidemic, expressed his condolences to the unfortunate victims, expressed condolences to his family, and wished the patients to recover as soon as possible. Tamim said that Kazakhstan highly appreciates the strong measures China has taken. I fully believe that China has the ability and confidence to overcome the epidemic as soon as possible, overcome the immediate difficulties, and wish China success. The Chinese people are good friends of Qatar, and Qatar will always stand firmly with the Chinese people. Qatar will strictly follow WHO's recommendations, and I will instruct Qatar's health institutions to strengthen exchanges and cooperation with China. If the Chinese side has any needs, the Kazakh side is ready to continue to provide assistance to the Chinese side. The Kazakh side looks forward to working with China to promote greater development of Kazakhstan-China relations. (end)
