MOSCOW, February 5 – RIA Novosti. It is illogical and inappropriate to leave the World Health Organization; you need to convey your position and exchange information, Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

“We need to participate, we need to convey our position and be in cooperation with those countries that accordingly support our direction. There must be an exchange of data and information,” Murashko said.

He explained that a challenge such as the pandemic showed the need for cooperation. It is also important to defend your own opinion, the minister emphasized.

“Therefore, simply slamming the door is illogical and impractical,” Murashko noted.
