China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi has called for a “ceasefire” in the international blame game over the coronavirus pandemic and urged for the  World Health Organisation to be given more support, which he said could save lives. Speaking at a special meeting on Monday of  BRICS – the grouping of the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – Wang also said China would “do whatever it can” to alleviate the debt burden on African nations.
