UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Thursday, June 25, called on the world to strengthen multilateral cooperation, saying a global approach has been the key to addressing the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaking on the eve of the 75th anniversary of the United Nations Charter, he said the world is in turmoil, struggling with the coronavirus and climate change, as well as widespread racial injustice and increasing inequality – all best solved by a renewed sense of multilateralism.
The UN supply chain was also important in moving medical goods around the globe as COVID-19 spread, Guterres said. Among people in many countries, the response to the pandemic has eroded their confidence in political establishments and institutions, Guterres said.
