Taxi to China's new ambassador to Israel during a special time. Like all my Israeli friends, I also closely follow the Corona virus epidemic. The morbidity he created is a major public health challenge around the world. The best weapon to face this challenge is unity and collaboration.

Two months ago, the virus was named in China. In the leadership of President Xi Jinping, the entire Chinese nation has taken the most difficult and comprehensive steps to contain the spread of the virus. Thanks to the rapid steps, China has been able to earn time for the international community and thus help it prepare. Through its determined response, China has become a strong line of defense against the spread of the epidemic.

The World Health Organization and China Joint Mission, including experts from the United States, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Russia and other countries, conducted field research and concluded that China "changed the course of the epidemic that spread rapidly and deadly ... and formed a stronger first line of defense against The international expansion. "Nobel laureate for chemistry Michael Levitt, an American-British-American biophysicist, said that" China has done a great job and managed to gain complete control of the virus. "

However, China was not alone in the anti-epidemic campaign. Israel, as well as 170 countries and 40 regional and international organizations, stood by and gave us invaluable support. The Chinese people will never forget it.

Now the epidemic is spreading worldwide. Israel is also affected. I want to tell our friends that China knows how you feel. China will not ignore Israel's plight and will not be afraid to reach out after what it has experienced.

Recently, four Chinese medical experts in Wuhan City made a video call with more than 30 Israeli doctors and specialists. It was a fruitful and successful conversation where they shared with each other about how to deal with the epidemic. China intends to assist Israelis according to their demands and organize more events where knowledge and experiences can be shared to contribute to Israel's efforts to fight the virus.

In addition, China, as the world's factory, does not let go of its efforts to start producing again at full output. We will overcome the current difficulties and strive to meet the demands of Israel and other countries when it comes to supplying medical equipment and equipment.

The virus that causes COVID-19 disease was unknown to humanity until recently. China has operated openly and transparently and out of a sense of responsibility since the outbreak began. It shares information and works hand in hand with the international community responsibly. We oppose the stigma on China and believe that the whole world should see China's actions fairly and objectively, and from a broad perspective, so as not to seriously damage the mutual solidarity and the world-wide fight against the virus.

The Chinese people and the Jewish people have suffered greatly throughout history, but these two peoples have always succeeded in resurrecting and marching towards national renewal. The fight against the epidemic will only strengthen the national resilience of both our peoples and lead us toward a brighter future. Although we are in the world, however difficult it may be, faith must not go away. And as difficult as the task is, there is still hope down the road.

After two months of hard fighting in China, the whole nation is slowly returning to normal, and the closure of Wuhan is expected to be removed very soon. This development should be a source of hope for all and give credence to the righteousness of the road. As long as we continue to be calm and work together with Israel, the people of Israel - who are a smart and optimistic people - will win the epidemic, and as long as the international community remains united, humanity will overcome all the challenges and difficulties it faces. I have complete confidence in Israel's ability and the capabilities of the rest of the world.

I am eagerly awaiting the moment when the epidemic comes to an end and then I will have more opportunities to work with my Israeli friends to advance another step in the joint joint venture, the China-Israel Comprehensive Innovation Initiative, launched in 2017.
