[국제]WHO criticizes China as unprecedented: “disappointment” delayed arrival of corona investigation team

[앵커]

The Secretary-General of the World Health Organization, WHO, has criticized Chinese authorities for delaying the entry of an international team of experts to investigate the origin of Corona 19.

This is a rare attitude for the WHO, which has been criticized for being primarily on the side of China in the process of responding to the corona crisis.

Video press briefing at the WHO headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland.

Secretary-General Governor Yeosus has exceptionally criticized China by explaining the field investigation by a team of experts uncovering the origin of Corona 19.

“I found out today that Chinese officials have not yet confirmed the permits required for the team of experts to arrive in China,” he said, expressing disappointment.

He emphasized that the mission of uncovering the origins of the corona outbreak is the top priority of the WHO, and that it wants to proceed as soon as possible.

[거브러여수스 / WHO 사무총장 : 하지만 나는 중국 고위 관리들과 연락을 취했고, 이 임무가 WHO와 국제 조사팀의 최우선 과제라는 것을 다시 한 번 분명히 했습니다.]

US media and foreign media have pointed out that the response from the WHO, known as a pro-Chinese organization, is peculiar and interesting.

Internet media Axios reports that the WHO secretary-general has blocked criticism from the international community against China, and that after spending a year hesitated to investigate China, he ended up speaking out.

Earlier, WHO decided to send a corona origin investigation team to China earlier this month.

The investigation team was scheduled to start an investigation at the seafood wholesale market in Wuhan, where the first coronavirus confirmed about a year ago.

Wuhan is known as the source of Corona 19, but China is claiming several other possibilities.
