Beijing.- In their joint battle against COVID-19, China and Mexico are ready to strengthen bilateral ties, China’s state councillor and foreign minister Wang Yi said on Wednesday in a telephone conversation with Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard. Wang noted that Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Mexican counterpart, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, reached significant consensus in a recent telephone conversation on deepening cooperation against COVID-19. Wang said he believes that by fighting the disease together, the two countries will continue to deepen mutually beneficial cooperation and push their comprehensive strategic partnership to a new level.
Not long ago, the Mexican Embassy in China hoisted its flag half-masted during Chinese national mourning day for the martyrs and victims of COVID-19, an illustration of their friendship with the Chinese people, he said. China is sympathetic to the people of Mexico at the moment when it faces its own challenge to the COVID-19 pandemic, Wang said.
