Foreign minister urges Asean countries to ease their bans on Chinese visitors. FMTNews China Coronavirus

China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi at the Special Asean-China Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Vientiane, Laos.

China’s foreign minister urged Singapore to ease its ban on Chinese visitors and discussed travel and trade restrictions at the meeting with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations on Thursday. Beijing has been criticised for its handling of the outbreak of the new coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2, which emerged from the city of Wuhan in Hubei province in recent months and killed at least 2,000.

From Singapore’s outright ban to the open-door practices of Beijing’s close ally Cambodia, policies on travel from China have varied among the 10 Asean nations. Asean and China, its largest trading partner, have an annual travel flow of over 65 million visits. Asean nations collectively are also the second-largest trading partner of China.
