We must mobilize necessary resources, s?tick together in collaboration, and do whatever it takes to protect people's lives and health and minimize the fallout of COVID-19."

The debate came after several weeks of protests and demonstrations in the United States and worldwide following George Floyd's death.

The U.S. Commerce Department has announced it will allow American companies to work with Chinese tech firm Huawei on setting standards for 5G telecom networks.

But the rule change allows those companies to disclose U.S. technologies to Huawei without a license if it's for the purpose of 5G standards development.

Huawei has welcomed the decision, saying it will continue to hold sincere discussions with its counterparts including those in the United States.
