2014年CRI 中国派专家援助埃博拉疫区 中日外长进行非正式接触（在线收听）

Three teams of Chinese disease-control specialists are taking supplies and expertise to Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone to help fight the deadly Ebola virus.

Each medical team will be composed of one epidemiologist and two specialists in disinfection and protection.

They will help train local medical workers and assist Chinese embassies to distribute medical supplies.

Three other Chinese medical teams already working in the three countries are staying put, to continue efforts to contain the Ebola outbreak.

China is also sending 80 tons of anti-Ebola materials valued at some 5 million US dollars to the West African countries.

The materials are expected to arrive later today.

The Chinese foreign minister has met with his Japanese counterpart, holding an informal exchange of views on ways to improve relations between the countries.

Wang Yi and Fumio Kishida met on the sidelines of the series of Foreign Ministers Meetings on East Asia Cooperation.

Wang demanded Japanese leaders make a concrete effort to remove political barriers that have spoiled the relationship between Beijing and Tokyo.

The China-Japan relationship nosedived after the Japanese government's so-called "purchase" of the Diaoyu Islands in September 2012, and further plummeted over the current Japanese government's cavalier attitude to the wartime atrocities inflicted on Chinese people in the 1930s and 40s.
