Canberra, 25 Apr (Xinhua) -- According to Australian media reports on 24 April, former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright said a few days ago when participating in an interview program of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that all countries should maintain unity and not split in the face of the epidemic.
She said on the talk show: "What bothers me is politicizing it [the epidemic], shirking responsibility and blaming it. ”
Albright said that responding to the current dire situation and rebuilding after the epidemic requires cooperation, including cooperation between the United States and China.
"For what happened, we are blaming China while also relying on the masks they produce." She said. "If they had developed a vaccine, would we have refused?"
Albright noted that every country needs a partner, even the United States.
"You can't solve all the problems alone," she said. Climate change affects everyone, as do nuclear proliferation and epidemics. Therefore, we need to work through diplomacy to develop partnerships and work together. ”
Albright, 82, is the first female secretary of state in U.S. history, serving as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and secretary of state from January 1997 to January 2001.
