Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue said Thursday (Feb 26th) that the Chinese government is actively seeking international cooperation in the fight against bird flu.
Zhang said the government is deeply concerned about the prevention and control of the disease. The Ministry of Agriculture has set up an effective epidemic reporting mechanism with the World Health Organization and United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
She said the FAO has approved an emergency technical cooperative project in personnel training and expert exchanges in helping China prevent the spread of avian influenza.
China has promised to provide active viral strains to international agencies, and the first batch of inactivated samples were dispatched on Feb. 24, she said.
China is also offering help to neighboring countries hit by the disease, providing 450,000 US dollars in foreign exchange to Vietnam and Thailand. The Ministry of Agriculture also offered equipment, including protective suits, gloves, detergents and packing bags, worth 200,000 yuan (24,184 US dollars) to Vietnam.
