"We (China) are still at a very critical stage in fighting the (COVID-19) Coronavirus. International solidarity is extremely important and for that purpose all countries should behave in a responsible manner."

"We highly commend the right decision made by the Government of Nicaragua (to switch diplomatic relations from Republic of China to the People's Republic of China), which is in line with the prevailing trend of the times and people's aspirations."

"The overwhelming view of the international community is clear: an immediate humanitarian ceasefire is the overriding priority. We will not stop but continue to make our efforts to save lives, to uphold justice and to pursue peace."
