Hubei Province, especially its capital city of Wuhan, was hardest hit during the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) epidemic in China. Facing this entirely new virus, we spent a month curbing the spread of COVID-19, then two months reducing the daily infected cases to below 10, and three month achieving decisive results.

During this fight against the epidemic, we saved lives and treated patients at any cost, took the most stringent measures to cut off the transmission of the disease, made every effort to ensure supply of medical resources, strived to guarantee the basic living needs of people, and resumed the normal economic and social order.

Until now, Hubei has had no new confirmed cases for 34 consecutive days. Wuhan has conducted nucleic acid tests on nearly 10 million residents with none found positive. We can proudly declare that Hubei and Wuhan are safe! The people of Hubei and Wuhan are healthy!

The epidemic is still spreading around the world. Both Hubei and Arab countries face the arduous task of fighting it, stabilizing the economy, and ensuring people's well-being. We are ready to share our anti-epidemic experience with our Arab friends without reservation and provide assistance within our ability. Arabs are a tenacious and wise people with an ancient history, who built a splendid civilization with a spirit undaunted by challenges and pursuing the trend of the times.

Under the aegis of the leaders of Arab countries and the joint efforts of the ruling parties, we believe that Arab countries will achieve victory in the fight against COVID-19. We look forward to developing more in-depth exchanges and cooperation in broader areas with them and Arab parties after the epidemic, and to contributing to building a community with a shared future for humanity.
