Representatives from media outlets in China and African countries on Wednesday urged for strengthened cooperation to oppose politicizing of the COVID-19 pandemic and pinning labels to the virus.
The representatives made the remarks at a teleconference for media communication held Wednesday.
Media outlets should publicize the joint efforts of China and African countries in combating the virus and make contributions to reopening economic and social development in developing countries in the post-pandemic era, according to the representatives.
They reached a consensus that media outlets should uphold multilateralism and the UN-centered global governance system and support the World Health Organization during the battle against the pandemic.
