| Health Minister Chen Zhu has
apologized to his Mexican
counterpart for failing to
warn him about the tough
measures Beijing imposed on
Mexicans to combat swine flu.
"I regret that I did not talk
first (to Minister Jose Angel
Cordova)", Mr Chen said on
the sidelines of a meeting in
Cancun about the swine flu
pandemic. Beijing quarantined
dozens of Mexicans at the
height of the A-H1N1
outbreak, cut flights to
Mexico and barred pork
imports. The measures were
denounced in Mexico, which was
the centre of the swine flu
outbreak that has since spread
around the world.
