ISLAMABAD April 3: The President of China Media Group Mr. Shen Haixiong has widely appreciated the Daily Al-Akhbar for the inclusive overage of the Coronavirus situation in Wuhan.
In his letter dated March the 30th, to the Editor-in-Chief of Daily Al-Akhbar ( a sister newspaper of Daily National Herald Tribune) Mr. Shen Haixiong also extended his sincere and best wishes to him as well as the staff of the Daily. We are pleased to reproduce English version of his letter:
“I am deeply concerned about the severe locust plague as well as the challenges of the Novel Corona Pneumonia epidemic faced by Pakistan. On behalf of China Media Group, I would like to extend my sincere and best wishes to you and the entire staff of your newspaper “Al Akhbar “.
Both China and Pakistan are fighting the epidemic. Under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, by hard work throughout the country, prevention and control situation of the epidemic in China continue to improve and the recovery of the production and people’s livelihood being accelerated. From China’s practice, the epidemic can be prevented, controlled and treated. Pakistan is taking decisive control measures. I believe that Pakistan will effectively control the epidemic.
The epidemic has spread in many countries around the world. A few days ago, President Xi Jinping pointed out at the special G20 summit meeting for the Covid-19 that what the international community needs most now is to strengthen confidence, work together, and respond in a united manner so as to comprehensively strengthen international cooperation and build a strong force to overcome the epidemic. China is strengthening cooperation with the international community through practical actions of open cooperation, and providing assistance within its capacity to jointly safeguard international health security.
I have noticed that Al Akhbar has been covering China’s epidemic situation and control experience and published on multiple occasions articles and commentaries by the China Media Group. We are willing to further cooperate with your newspaper by sharing reporting experience as well as anti-covid 19 experiences, so as to promote the positive energy of “jointly fight the epidemic and overcome the difficulties” and deepen the “iron” friendship between China and Pakistan. Let us make China-Pakistan relations a model of building the community of shared future and make due efforts and contributions as media to better benefit the people of both China and Pakistan. ‘With best wishes! Shen Haixiong President China Media Group, March 30th , 2020″.
