Global cooperation against SARS is an important task, and China supports cooperation with German scientists to strengthen efforts fighting the disease, says Chinese State Councilor Chen Zhili.
Chen spoke during a meeting on Thursday with a group of German and Chinese scientists attending a seminar on severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). Scientists exchanged their views on the epidemic and future cooperation during the two-day seminar.
The epidemic had posed a severe challenge to humankind, and the Chinese government had taken a series of decisive measures, making progress in prevention and treatment work, she said.
SARS was still a relatively unknown virus, and science and technology would be the final recourse to defeat the disease, said Chen.
