Indonesia defends itself

In response to the recent criticism over virus sharing, Triono Soendoro, head of the Indonesian health ministry's research and development centre, had these comments:

"We sent the samples in May good faith. It was a donation, a courtesy, in the hope that there would be a fair mechanism in the near future," he said of the samples sent in May "But so far no such mechanism exists. It is still being discussed. If we do it again now, we are worried that we will be deceived again," he told Reuters."
