China's ambassador to UN hopes the United States will have second thoughts about a Trump administration halt to funding for the World Health Organisation.
Chen Xu also announced China's support for a WHO initiative led by European countries and philanthropic groups like the Gates Foundation to expedite vaccines and COVID-19 treatment to developing countries.
The United States has not aligned with the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator that aims to help vulnerable countries gain equitable access to vaccines, diagnostics and treatment.
Chen Xu says the United States was duty-bound to keep up its WHO funding and offered support for WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
