Chinese Foreign Ministry has warned Chinese business people and companies not
to import livestock and relevant animal products from Vietnam, as foot-and-mouth
disease is widespread in the country.
The ministry has also urged the Chinese people not to go to epidemic-stricken
areas in Vietnam, which has borders with southwest China.
Foot-and-mouth disease broke out in 433 villages in 154 counties of Vietnam,
affecting more than 26 thousand cattle, ten thousand pigs and 47 sheep,
according to reports from Vietnam.
