Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus has hit back at US claims the World Health Organization (WHO) has been "co-opted by China".
He said such allegations are "untrue and unacceptable" and warned against politicising the coronavirus pandemic.
Pompeo, referring to China at a press conference on Tuesday, said: "You can't go make claims for maritime regions that you have no lawful claim to. You can't threaten countries and bully them in the Himalayas. You can't engage in cover-ups and co-opt international institutions like the World Health Organization."
WHO has been frequently criticised by the US administration over its handling of China during the pandemic.
