China to continue strengthening cooperation with int'l community on climate change: spokesman

China will continue to strengthen cooperation with international community to effectively prevent and reduce the adverse effects of climate change, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said on Wednesday.

Guo made the remarks at a regular press briefing in Beijing when taking a media query about a recent glacial collapse in Nepal that triggered a devastating mudslide along the China-Nepal border.

"China and Nepal have maintained good cooperation in areas such as meteorology, water resources, and disaster prevention and mitigation. Following the mudslide disaster, China shared crucial information with Nepal, including images of the affected area, satellite and hydrological data, and early warning information about the upstream barrier lake. We will continue to strongly support Nepal in its disaster relief efforts and strengthen cooperation in areas such as disaster prevention and mitigation," Guo said.

"Climate change is a common challenge facing all of humanity, and no country can stay unaffected on its own. China will continue to work with the international community to strengthen exchanges and cooperation to effectively prevent and reduce the adverse effects of climate change," he added.
