BEIJING, August 9 (INP): China has rejected the US’s allegations that the Saudi Arabia is using the Chinese expertise to move towards the development of nuclear weapons. According to a spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry Wang Wenbin, the US allegation is groundless. China and Saudi Arabia are comprehensive strategic partners. The spokesperson elaborated that there bilateral relations have grown steadily and soundly, with fruitful cooperation in various fields. China and Saudi Arabia maintain normal energy cooperation. “China has been working to promote the peaceful uses of nuclear energy in the world with a responsible attitude. We will continue our strict fulfillment of international obligations in non-proliferation, and pursue cooperation in peaceful uses of nuclear energy with other countries on the basis of mutual respect and shared benefit, so as to contribute to global sustainable development,” he added. About COVID-19, Wang Wenbin said, the pandemic respects no borders and races. To defeat this mankind's common enemy, solidarity and cooperation is our most powerful weapon, and saving lives is the most urgent task. “ We know what the US has been going through at this critical moment and have provided large amounts of medical supplies to the US. We also made it easier for the US to purchase medical goods from China. Statistics show that by August 2, China has provided 26.5 billion masks, 330 million protective gowns, 31 million pairs of protective goggles, 610 million pairs of surgical gloves and 11,500 ventilators to the US side. We hope that the US will prevail over the pandemic at an early date. We also hope that a few US politicians can stop politicizing the epidemic, stigmatizing the virus, and shifting blames to China. They need to work with the international community to overcome the influence of the pandemic.” Inp/javed
