Coronavirus: China, Asean Foreign Ministers to Hold Emergency Meeting
South China Morning Post

17 February 2020

China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi will join an emergency meeting of his Asean counterparts on Thursday to discuss the measures taken by Beijing to contain the coronavirus outbreak, officials from the 10-nation bloc have said. Zi Yang, a Singapore-based analyst of Chinese foreign policy at RSIS, said Thursday’s meeting is likely to be used by Wang “to reassure Asean counterparts and send the message that China has everything under control, especially in a time when there are simmering doubts regarding official Chinese narratives on Covid-19 containment”.
