China, Australia Hold Secret Meetings to Coordinate COVID-19 ‘Response Cooperation’

Beijing and Canberra have held a meeting to discuss a response to China's spiralling COVID-19 crisis. 

Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin broke news of the bilateral discussions on Thursday, saying Chinese authorities had held several meetings with Australia in recent days to discuss COVID-19 “response cooperation”.

The meeting was not previously public knowledge. 

“In addition, over the past days, the competent Chinese authorities held a series of bilateral meetings with the EU and Australia to have exchanges on COVID-related issues and strengthen response cooperation,” Mr Wang said.

The Australian Department of Health and Aged Care confirmed a January 11 meeting to SkyNews.com.au on Friday.
