BEIJING • China's State Councillor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi will attend a special Asean-China foreign ministers' meeting in Laos this week to discuss the coronavirus outbreak, which has battered manufacturing and tourism across the region and led to an array of travel restrictions.

"That the two sides have decided to hold a special foreign ministers' meeting within such a short period of time demonstrates our will and determination to overcome difficulties with concerted efforts," he said. During this week's high-level meeting, Mr Wang"will talk about China's strong measures on countering the new epidemic and exchange in-depth views on collaboration with Asean counterparts to advance joint prevention and control, maintain normal economic and social exchange, and explore launching a permanent mechanism on public health cooperation", said Mr Geng.

China's worst-hit province Hubei this week intensified its lockdown measures by banning vehicle traffic to contain the spread of the coronavirus.
