Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Wednesday suggested that the international
community set up a monitoring and early warning system against epidemic diseases
as soon as possible and help all countries in their capacity building in this
regard.
The international community should make joint efforts to intensify scientific
research in the area of epidemiology and medicine development for bird flu
prevention and control, Wen told the ongoing international pledging conference
on avian and human pandemic influenza.
"China is ready to provide personnel training to member states of the
Association of Southeast Asian Nations and the neighboring countries, and
conduct technical exchange with concerned countries on epidemiological survey,
early warning and monitoring, laboratory testing, and clinical diagnosis and
treatment," the premier said.
"We are also willing to cooperate with concerned countries and international
organizations in the development of vaccine and medicine for effective
prevention and control of bird flu," Wen added.
