OREANDA-NEWS. Singaporean Prime Minister Li Xian Lun urged China and the United States to drop mutual accusations of the coronavirus pandemic and join forces with other states to resolve the problems.

"Even in the most favorable international atmosphere, it’s very difficult to solve the current problem", said Li Xian Long in an interview with CNN on Sunday in the United States. According to him, the Chinese leadership, after analyzing the response to the outbreak of the virus, "will understand that somewhere they should have acted more efficiently". "However, I’m not sure that if Beijing had done everything right, then a pandemic would not have happened", the prime minister added.

The outbreak caused by the new coronavirus disease was recorded at the end of 2019 in Central China, later spreading to most countries and was recognized by the World Health Organization as a pandemic.
