We need to focus on fighting humanity’s common enemy, COVID‑19, We need solidarity to end this pandemic, quickly deliver life-saving vaccines and treatments, and support countries on the long road to future recovery. We need to intensify our work to reduce inequality and end poverty,”

“We cannot allow our future to be undermined by the acid of hatred, division, conflict, and mistrust,”
“It’s time to rebuild our world. Make peace with nature and others. Lift each other, not bring each other down. And to live, finally, in the true promise and potential of humanity,”
