At the World Health Organization news briefing on Tuesday, Health Emergencies Programme executive director Michael Ryan said China's strategic and tactical approach is the right one. Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also outlined several measures the organization is taking to increase preparedness around the globe.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus also said, “China doesn't need to ask to be praised… because we have seen these concrete things that should be appreciated.”

He said there are two benefits to recognizing and praising a country for doing the right thing: “First, it helps them to continue doing the right things they are doing; second, it helps other countries to recognize the good practice and they can learn from that country.”

The WHO's international team of experts is now in China, where they are working closely with Chinese counterparts.

We are doing the right thing. We are confident that "China shall overcome". International Fastener Show China will be held from June 22 to 24 as scheduled. See you at Shanghai World Expo Exhibition and Convention Center!
