Ambassador Wu stated that this emergency medical mission is a concrete action in implementing the important common understandings reached by the two heads of state. It is also a strong testament to the profound friendship between the two peoples, and a vivid reflection of China taking its role as a responsible major country to actively participate in global disaster governance and jointly safeguard people’s life and health. China is willing to further strengthen exchanges and cooperation with the FSM in the health sector, consolidate the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between the two countries, and jointly promote the building of a global community of health for all.

Team members expressed their commitment to putting the spirit of the Chinese medical teams into practice through hard work and contributing China’s strength to the efforts of the Chuuk people in overcoming the disaster.
