On January 21, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Guo Jiakun presided over a regular press conference. The United States announced that it would withdraw from the WHO and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, and a reporter asked a question on this.
Guo Jiakun said that as an authoritative and professional international institution in the field of global public health, the World Health Organization has played a central and coordinated role in global health governance, and the role of the World Health Organization should only be strengthened and not weakened. China will continue to support the World Health Organization in performing its duties, deepen international public health cooperation, strengthen global health governance, and promote the building of a community of health and health for mankind.
At the same time, China expressed concern about the US's announcement that it would withdraw from the Paris Agreement. Climate change is a common challenge facing all mankind. No country can stay out of the matter, and no country can survive alone. China's determination and actions to actively respond to climate change have been consistent. China will work with all parties to uphold the concept of a community with a shared future for mankind, actively respond to the challenges of climate change, and jointly promote the process of global green and low-carbon transformation.
