China has offered Mongolia
continuing assistance to assure avian flu does not pose a threat to
humans or livestock.
The veterinary department of
China’s Ministry of Agriculture has been closely monitoring Mongolia,
as well as other nations sharing borders with China, for outbreaks of
avian flu.
Additionally, China itself
has broken its decades-long habit of secrecy to actively cooperate with
international organizations trying to check the outbreaks of avian flu.
Recently, China’s Ministry
of Agriculture donated $900,000 US worth of vaccinations for Indonesia’s
poultry.
Additionally, China keeps a
close eye on Vietnam, where fourteen of the country’s 64 provinces
have had outbreaks of avian flu. Since 2003, 95 cases of human avian
flu have been reported in Vietnam, causing 42 fatalities.
Beginning in 2005, China has
provided Vietnam with 900 million vaccinations for its poultry. It also
continues to send experts to assist the Vietnamese in preventing an
avian flu epidemic.
