BEIJING, July 4 (Xinhuanet) -- China will continue to work with the United
Nations Development Program (UNDP) to reinforce the nation's fights against
HIV/AIDS and other public health problems,Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi said here
Friday.
The UN agency and China's Ministry of Health are preparing a report to
address challenges in the field of AIDS control and to make recommendations.
The Chinese government would maintain good cooperation with the UNDP in
fields including foreign investment, women's development and public health, Wu
said at a meeting with Kerstin Leitner, the outgoing UNDP resident
representative in China.
Leitner will soon finish her five-year term as the top UNDP official in
China, and will work as a senior official at the WorldHealth Organization, also
a UN agency.
Leitner said China can prevent HIV/AIDS from developing into a big health
threat if the government takes immediate and strong control measures, as it has
done to contain the recent outbreak ofsevere acute respiratory syndrome. Enditem
