I want to believe that the achievements made by the DPRK in dealing with global health crisis and disastrous climate change will make a positive contribution to the efforts of the international community to recover from COVID-19 and build sustainablesocio-economic resilience.

At the present time, it is the core policy of the DPRK government to cope with the global health crisis andclimate change with a foresighted plan

It is no exaggeration to say that the international community is faced with the most serious crisis sincethe founding of the UN.This reality urgently requires all the UN member states to find a proper solution to the problems, while remaining more faithful than ever before to the UN Charter, international law and fundamental principles of international relations, pooling their political willand efforts and strengthening mutual cooperation

The covid crisis has exacerbated pre-existing and perennial challenges such as poverty, hunger, unemployment, inequalities, and climate change. This has exposed systemic weaknesses, vulnerabilities,and inadequacies in health system around the world. Nowhereis this distinctly visible than in the most weak and vulnerable countries where people remain deprived of access to even basic civic amenities.

the heavy death toll has created new and complex social issues in our societies that require intervention by governments. We are of the firm belief that multilateralism is the only vehicle by which we can jointly save humanity, safeguard livelihoods, and reenergize our economies.

n recoveringfrom the pandemic, we cannot revert to business as usual. We need to do better, andbuild a greener, bluer,and more equitable and sustainable future.

Мы в полной мере поддерживаем проходящий в рамках Всемирной организации здравоохранения процесс ее укрепления вреагировании на чрезвычайные ситуации в области здравоохранения. При этом отмечаем абсолютную важность недопущения политизацииэтой тематики, включаяизучение причинпроисхождения коронавируса.

Education is an important tool utilized to equip, capacitate, develop and empower every learner to create and/or sustain development and attain the future we want. The closure of schools and institutions of higher learning due to the pandemic, hashad anunparalleled devastating impact to millions of learners. This has been more pronounced in the developing world, mainly because many of these countries are not adequately equipped to pursue their education virtually. Theimpact of students being out of schoolfor an extended period of time was enormous and a nightmare in many developing countries. The lack of access to digital learning resources was a setback tostudents’ learning opportunities.Upon resumption of classesin the Kingdom of Eswatini, schools had to stagger attendance in order to prevent the snowballing of infections and the spread of the virus,as it evolvesand changesphases

We all know that we can only be successful if we work together solidarity is simply also a matter of self-interest, yet the pandemic has exacerbated existing inequalities both within and among societies. Women and children and those in economically weak positions have been hit hardest

Can we find ways to address the pandemic of misinformation, which has sometimes been arguably worse than the pandemic itself?

The digital revolution was well underway before COVID-19. But the pandemic has accelerated the pace and scaleof this revolution. 35. Digital technologies have empowered millions of people. But the gulf of opportunities between digital haves and digital have-nots has also widened.36. Today, 3.8 billion people remain digitally disconnected.

In addition, the economic devastation in developing countries from the pandemic is yet to be addressed bymeaningful economic and financial measures

The negative impacts of the COVID-19pandemic on our economy hadbeen significant. By mid-2021our balance of trade deficit was around $96 million; $24 million higher than the previous month. This is a substantialamount for our small economy.

Inourview,buildingbackbetterinitiativesshouldfocusonjobcreation,digitalization,increasedSDGfinancing,strengthenedhealthsystems,scientificresearch,andincreasedutilizationoflocalexpertsinprogrammeandprojectinterventionsinthecontinent.

Another barrier to development that we face is the criteria employed to determineaid and financial support. The singular benchmark formeasuringdevelopment-GDP per capita -is criticalbut sadly, due to bias and the omission of factors, issimplistic and flawed

heeconomic impact of the pandemic will be felt for years to come. When it began, tourism ourbiggest economic driver groundto a halt, causing significant unemployment and underemployment. Businesses suffered as a result of lockdowns

am pleased to say that St. Kitts and Nevis is just one of the many countries to have benefitted from the COVAX facilityestablished by the World Health Organisation at the start of the pandemic

Mr President, the immediate global response was slow and inadequate to the scale and depth of the health crisis. Disruption of supplychains made access to the much-needed COVID-19 therapeutics, diagnostics and PPEs beyond the reach of many developing countries. Vaccine hoarding has reduced access to COVID-19 vaccines for developing countries, undermining COVAX and leading to deep and threatening inequalities.

And now Mr. President, our capacity to survive is being tested by the unrelenting COVID-19 pandemic. COVID brought the Belizean economy to its knees.

we will require adequate fiscal space and funding to achieve the SDGsand to be ableto respond and recover from the health, social and economic implications of the pandemic,in light of high debt-servicing requirements

Today, we see some countries receiving a ‘digital dividend’ while others suffer the consequences of a ‘digital divide.’There is need to address urgently the latterin support of COVID-19 adaptationmeasures,response and recovery efforts. Accelerated digitalization, remote work and education, e-commerce and the virtual delivery of essential services, have

At the core of building resilience is restoringthe health and well-beingof our people. The pandemic has exacerbated challenges in this area,especiallyfor Small Island Developing States,like Jamaica,which already facelimited resources in the health sector.

he innovative advances we had made allowed usto diversify our capabilities when the virus hit–through e-Government, online education and digital textbooks, and acentral software system which drove a successful vaccination rollout.

Despite the effects of the crisis, Serbia has managed to preserve financial and economic stability.

Thepandemic questioned some of the basic tenets of the open and cooperative international order. Global exchanges, international communication, and cross-border trade have all seen a vast decrease.

The continuation of the Corona p andemic, and its excessive p lundering of the gains achieved by states, to reach the sustainable develop ment goals, have shown the extent of intermeshing and interconnect between the various dimensions of sustainability, whereby the issue of climate change and the ecological systems associated with it, were not isolated from global imp act waves

The p olitical, social, and economic fallouts from the outbreak of the p andemic, have p layed a role in the sp read of a state ofglobal self-retroversion, which terrorist and extremist groups has deliberately exp loited in areas afflicted by conflicts or suffer from security fragility,

From this standpoint, theCovid-19 p andemic was tantamount to a mirror to the world, reflecting its weaknesses and revealing its flaws, manifested in several chronic aspects, among which is the increase in rates of hunger and p overty, p rolonged conflicts, uncontrolled p rogress of modern technology, and its ramifications on cyber security

Thisis in addition to the exacerbation of the food insecurity crisis due to the disruption in supply lines, which came as an exp ected outcomeof the severe economic downturn and stagnation, which the world has not witnessed in over 90 years, also the decrease in the services p rovided by educational sectors, p articularly in develop ing and least developed countries, in sucha way that it has become more threatening than ever before, tocause regression in the gains achieved, and writing off the recorded achievementsof the sustainable development goals.

We are overcoming Covid, and have a long term plan in place to strengthen our democracy, economy and society

En effet, la COVID-19 a révélé les faiblesseset vulnérabilitésde nos économies ainsi que de nos systèmes de santé, nous contraignant aujourd’hui à penser autrement nos modèles de développement afin de les rendre plus résilients.Certains pays développés entendent déjà relocaliser tout ou partie de leur tissu productif stratégique afin de réduire leur dépendance extérieure.L'Afrique devrait, également, s'inscrire dans ce changement de paradigmeafin de rompre avec les crises qui entravent son développement

Comme vous le savez, la crise sanitaire sans précédent générée par la pandémie de la COVID-19, qui demeure prégnante, a complètement déstructurénos sociétés,nos économieset notre vivre-ensemble.La mise au point de plusieurs vaccins par une collaboration internationale et les campagnes de vaccination en cours dans de nombreux pays constituent une lueur d’espoir pour l’humanité. La vaccination est le seul moyen réellement efficace pour freiner la propagation du virus.

Cette pandémie a traumatisé I'humanité par I'ampIeur de ses conséquences multiformes et multidimensionnelles â travers la planéte. EIIe continue de faire des ravages, mettant â rude épreuve nos systémes de santé, nos économies, nos finances publiques, nos services sociaux de hase, wire ie fonctionnement et la sécurité mémes de nos Etats, pour ne citer que ceux—lâ.Avec plus de 4 millions et demi de morts, de 220 millions de personnes infectées et des économies totalement ruinées â travers ie monde, les pays en développement en général et ceux d'Afrique en particulier, sont profondement impactés, en raison de leurs vulnérabilités structurelles

ompared to the Covid-19 pandemic, which burst into our lives like an explosion, it is like a slow burning, smouldering fire, creeping up on us. | am talking about climate change.

The pandemic has brought home to us the simple truth of how interconnected and interdependent we all are. We all learned the hard way that we cannot overcome a challenge like this on our own. Despite forcing us into social distancing, it brought us closer as a human family.

Covid-19 added fuel to the fire of existing geopolitical tensions. A ring of crises and conflicts spans the globe

However, an enormous task still lies anead of us. We have to massively accelerate the international vaccine distribution. It is perfectly clear and we all know it: in this pandemic no one is safe until everyone is safe

And we will lose even more if we cannot ensure that everyone has access to the vaccine as soon as possible. This is our only exit ticket out of the pandemic! That is why COVAX is probably one of the most important initiatives of our time.

The virus destroyed our illusion that human progress is a one-way street.

Similarly, striving to improve the rights of women and girls must be at the heart of our response to the pandemic.

Unfortunately the Covid-19 pandemic has accelerated negative trends in the protection of human rightsworldwide. More than ever, we need to ensure respect for civic participation, the independent media and civil society

The World Health Organisationhas a special role in strengthening health systems and preparedness for pandemics. It has a unique mandate in the field of global public health. It must be able to work effectively, efficiently and independently of any political or other influence.

Italy intends to continue to ensure its support forthe African continent, which is increasingly central forsecurity andeconomic growthglobally.We must increase investment, to enableAfrica’s youthto participate fully in its social, economic and political development

Italy hasalsotaken specific action on food security. Together with the FAO, we have created the “Food Coalition”to combat malnutrition caused by the Covid-19 pandemic andwe havehostedin Romethe Pre-Summit on Food Systems.

Economic divergencerisks erasing years of progress in the fight against poverty,making it even more difficult to achieve sustainable developmentgoals.

he pandemic has had a negative social and economic effect on everyone, but the consequences for lower-income countries have been particularly severe

We need to increase the availability of vaccines for poor countries and overcome logisticalhurdles to distribute themwhere they are most needed.Furthermore, we mustpreserveat the global levelthe free circulation of vaccinesand of the raw materials needed to produce them.Italy givesitsfull political and financial support to the COVAX Facility.We intend to triple our donations from 15 to 45 milliondosesby the end of 2021

The situation now has been exacerbated by the devastating impacts of the pandemic on sustainable development, with the most vulnerable countries, particularly the landlocked least developed countries such as Lesotho being the hardest hit. These countries therefore require sustainable and inclusive recovery strategies to accelerate progress towards the full implementation of the 2030 agenda.

n this auspicious occasion, my delegation expresses sincere appreciation for all initiatives recently taken through COVAX to address the needs of developing countries, especially in the development, production, and equitable access to COVID-19 tests, treatments and vaccines.

The World Health Organization recently promulgated an unpleasant warning that unless nations act urgently to slow the spread of the coronavirus, the world could log another 100 million infections by 2021

We recall COVID-19 Omnibus Resolution entitled: “Comprehensive and Coordinated Response to the COVID-19 Pandemic”, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly last year in September 2020, underscored the need to tackle health inequities and inequalities within and among countries through political commitment, policies and international cooperation.

This Session of the General Assembly comes at a critical time and momentous conjuncture in human history; indeed, this is the time when circumstances compel us to reiterate our plea to the international community to adopt an expanded and comprehensive response to the COVID 19 pandemic.

he application of the Vulnerability Index, therefore, remains for us, the only coherent andviable approach and strategy to resolving our current predicament.

Our efforts should also tackle economic imbalances and inequalities. In this regard, Seychelles urges the international community to assist the world’s most vulnerable economies in enhancing their resilience to future shocks

There is a virus far more terrible, far more harrowing than COVID19.It is the virus of inequality! And while the pandemic rages on and the debate continues unabated, and travel advisories of all shades and hues are being issued, humanity is the first casualty

But such recovery will be painfully elongated and slow unless there is international support in the form of debt rescheduling, debt service moratoriums, provision of soft resources to reboot economies

At the same time, in response to the requests received and guided by itsprofound fraternal and humanistic vocation, Cuba has sent more than 4 900 cooperation workers, organized into 57 medical brigades, to 40 countries and territories affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.Our dedicated health workers have not had a minute of rest in the struggle against the pandemicinside and outside Cuba.

More than 4.5 million people have diedbecause of the pandemic, which has worsened the living conditions in this planet. Its sequels andimpact on societies today areincalculable, but it is already known that they will not be ephemeral.It has been so pointed out by the “2021 Sustainable Development Goals Report”, while according to the International Labor Organization forecasts, there will be 205 million people unemployed in the world by 2022.

economists are still reeling from the economic impact of the pandemic african governmentshave already spent scarce reserves fighting the pandemic and providing social protection tomillions of affected households ghana has been advocating that innovative financing mustalso address structural challenges beyond responding to immediate fiscal needs byproviding mechanisms to facilitate investments in health infrastructure technology theenvironment and people that will bolster resilience and equitable recovery the imf'sunprecedented 650 billion dollar

african economies which contracted by 2.1percent in 2020 are yet to return to pre-pandemic levels more than 30 million africans fellinto extreme poverty in 2020 and nearly 40 million could do so in 2021. the social impact hasbeen devastating over 103 million african jobs have been lost women who account for 40percent of total employment have been most hard hit

Certes, le monde en 2020 a dû faire face à un ralentissement des activités économiques et commerciales sans précédent comme en témoignent les chiffres de Conférence des Nations Unies sur le commerce et le développement (UNCTAD). A ce sujet, permettez-moi d'en souligner certains d'entre eux : •Chute de 42% des investissements direct étrangers •Contraction de 20% du commerce mondiale •Quadruplement du prix du transport de conteneur

En raison des confinements imposes à la suite de la pandémie du COVID19 dans le monde entier, les perturbations dans la chaine d'approvisionnement, la forte contraction de l'économie, le creusement des déficits publics et les conséquences économiques dévastatrices. Nous sommes confrontés à l'urgence de mobiliser des solutions visant à

La pandémie du COVID19 continue à avoir un impact dévastateur sur les populations, au premier chef les pauvres et les personnes vulnérables. Elle a fortement affecté les indicateurs sociaux, remis en cause les progrès vers l'atteinte des Objectifs du Développement Durable et aggravé l'extrême pauvreté.

L’axe de travail Covaxde cette Coalition permet aujourd’hui d’accélérer la mise au point et la fabrication de vaccins contre la Covid-19. Si cette initiative acontribué à faciliter l’accès aux vaccins des populations les plus défavorisées,la fracture vaccinale reste encore très prononcéeet lesrésultats, largement en-deçàdes attentes de ce programme. En effet, pendant que dans les pays du Nord, plus de 50% de la population ontété déjà vaccinés, en Afrique par exemple, environ 1% a reçu le vaccin

4Touten saluant la décision du G20 d’approuver, depuis l’an dernier, l’Initiative de Suspension du Service de la Dette (DSSI), je voudrais réitérer l’appel lancé par l’Union Africaine ainsi que les institutions onusiennes de voir le poids de la dette de nos pays annulé, ou à tout le moins,allégé.Il importe donc que la communauté internationale s’efforcede répondre aux conclusions du Sommet de Paris sur le financement des économies africaines pour permettre à nos paysde surmonter les effets de la pandémie et d’assurer une reprise économique durable post Covid-19.

Selon la Banque mondiale, la pandémie a déclenché la première récession en Afrique subsaharienne depuis 25 ans. La situation est particulièrement préoccupante dans les pays aux économies fragiles, en particulier les Pays les Moins Avancés (PMA).

En effet, la pandémie a induit un important rebond de lamisèreet contribué à creuser davantageles inégalités socialeset l’écart entre les pays développés et ceux en voie de développement.

Domestic resource mobilisation is crucial to build back better and to reach the SDGs. Fairand effective tax systems are needed–not only to generate revenue, but also to build trust in government.The agreement reached in the OECD on a new framework for international tax reform is an important step forward.

Firstly, we are committed to Latin America and the Caribbean, a region with which we have very close ties. This year is the 30thanniversary of the firstIbero-American Summit, an anniversary in which we must consider both the immensechallenges caused bythe pandemic, and the internal displacement of hundreds ofthousands of people.

I call for the defense of robust States, with resources able to guarantee thewellbeing of their citizens according to the values of justice, progress, andequality. We must promote a just recovery,that is capable of closing the vast gap ofinequality

But the truth is that, in spite ofappearances, the coronavirus also reinforced inequalities. The poorest regions lacked thehealth infrastructure necessary to stop the spread of the disease, as well as the resources tocreate a social safety netto protect their citizensfroman economic crisi

During the last year and a half, we believed that the whole world was united aroundthese same realities: on the one hand, our fragility in the face of a virus that does notrespect borders, ideologies or social condition; on the other, a spirit of unity andconfidence in science that has led us, among other things, to develop effective vaccinesagainst COVID-19 in an astonishingly short time frame

n many ways, the pandemic has exposed our vulnerability and underscored the critical importance of multilateralism and international solidarity. We must “build back”a more equitable, sustainable, and humane world.We must begin with universal and fair access to vaccines.This matter must beresolved as a matter of global ethics and solidarity. The unjust “vaccine gap” is a “gap multiplier”

I will focus today first and foremost on the triple threatwe face together: COVID-19 recovery; the Climate crisis; and the humanitarian situation in Afghanistan.

| would like to reaffirm our country’s commitment to work with our development partners and the international community in general to find innovative, inclusive, and feasible solutions for the current challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

n the interest of maintaining social peace, we are urged to find a solution to the enormous indebtedness that middle-income countries have been forced into to deal with the economic and social ravages generated by the pandemic.There is currently no mechanism for access to concessional financing that allows these countries to solve this liquidity crisis. To overcome this challenge, we are forced to look for new and urgent solutions

ndeed, in the face of the pandemic, the climate emergency, the technological revolution and the need to articulate a new paradigm for the welfare state, it is necessary to strengthen unity and cooperation among all nations.

the coffee 19 pandemic has disrupted lives and economies constrained development due to repurposing of development finance and the withholding of private capital escalated the threat of climate change food insecurity broaden the inequality inequalities and justice and increased fragilities nations risk not meeting the sustainable development goals and building resilience against future shocks

A pesar de las condiciones adversas que la humanidad vive, todos hemos demostrado resiliencia. La pandemia ha puesto de manifesto la enorme capacidad del ser humano para sobreponerse a condiciones hostiles y lograr su supervivencia. Recién asumida mi administración, nos enfrentamos a la pandemia de la COVID-19, que ha afectado y sigue afectando a miles de guatemaltecos, causando un fuerte impacto en la economía, y modificando las dinámicas sociales y culturales, para lo cual fue preciso dar una respuesta acorde a nuestras posibilidades y poner en

There is also another important aspect of the digitalisation we can never forget -digital as an equaliser. In order to prevent the emergence of the digital inequality and division, last year Estonia and Singapore were co-sponsoring a Global Declaration on the Digital Response to COVID-19, “ClosetheDigitalDivides:theDigitalResponsetoCOVID-19”

governments needed to protect theirpeople that was the first thing we hadto do was protect our compatriots butalso we needed to be aware or alert tothe fact that that protectionshould not then become protectionismwe needed freedom to tradefreedom to competefor excellency and competition foraccess to markets

Over the past two years, we learned that isolationfrom society and loneliness are more fearfulthan the coronavirus itself, at a time when humanity is increasingly in need of socialization.We also witnessed that aparting from live communications between family members, friends, children, colleagues and between states and nations negativelyimpacts businesses, education, social behavior and relations, and mental health.

The pandemic haschallenged ruthlessly the world economies, their liquidity and resilience more than ever. Estimates indicate that in 2020, the virus reducedglobal economic growth by4.9percent,global trade fallen by 5.3 percent,however the global economy is projected to experience recovery in 2021.

The outbreakof the pandemic hasalso alarmed the modern nation states that the health sector possessesan existential importance equal to the defense sector.

As a so called “oasis of democracy” in the region, Mongolia has been closely observing human rights issues stemmed from the pandemic lockdown.The fact that Mongolia and many other Asian countries have been going through the COVID-19 crisis without substantial human rights conflicts disclosesthe advantage of communalisticculture of Asians over the individualistic one. I firmly believe that respecting each other’s culture and value,as well aslearning from each other’s successes and failures are of utmost importancein collectively overcoming the challenges that humanity may face in the future. The sudden outbreak of COVID-19 has placed an enormous strain onthe global health, particularly inhuman resource, infrastructure and supply chain, andwith the lingering spread of COVID-19 infection, the reality of social injustice has been revealedvividly.

Moreover, there were protests and insurgencies against lockdowns and home ordersin some countries

Mr.President, As the pandemic has affectednot only global health, but alsoall spheres of economic, social and political life, it became evident that the human historywill be divided into pre-and post-COVID-19periods.We have learned a number oflessons from the pandemic. Mongolians say that“Disease never knocks on the door”, whichimpliesthatthe disease does not discriminatebyrace, age, gender, and wealth. This proverb alsodemonstratesthe Mongolian morality of taking care of ones in trouble and ensure notto maltreatthem. We shouldthink that rather thandiscriminating each other,weshould focus oncombiningour strengths and overcome this perilouspandemicthe humankindisfacing.

In achieving these objectives, we must allow countries, especially in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis, to develop sustainable economies, without obstacles. •Isolation and trade blockades, such as, in the case of Cuba, in my own region, undermine these principles and are counterproductive, to achieving these goals

Currently, we face unrealistic, unfair, and counterproductive classification instruments.•Suriname looks forward to new substantive methods of financial support, based on the socio-economic reality, of the countries concerned.• At the same time, the vulnerabilities of countries, should be taken into account. •I call on all, to support the multi-dimensional vulnerability index, as proposed by SIDS(Small Island Developing States) andremove bureaucracy in supporting these states.

Mr. President, we must develop a post COVID-strategy, with a focus on:oDeveloping an effective strategy to improve vaccination levels in our societies.oRebuilding the economy;oAnd establishing a COVID 19 recovery fund, with support of the international financial institutions and the private sector;•We cannot go back, to what we were used to, but rather focus on:oHow we organize ourselves, for the “new normal”, with COVID-19 as part of our lives; oRemoving barriers, for ease of doing business and investments

First, there is no doubt that the Covid-19 pandemic has been the biggest challenge of ourgeneration so far. Like most other states, the Republic of Moldova has been hit hard. But ourown experience of dealing with the crisis has been filled with hope and gratitude. Gratitudefor the tremendous global endeavor of solidarity that supported my country’s work tocontain the virus. And hope - that solidarity can make us all more resilient

However, I am pleased to report our own robust success towards the goal ofachieving vaccination of nearly every eligible person in our nation. ln particular, I wishto thank the United States of America for its strong and early outreach to ensure that theMarshall lslands was not left behind in vaccination efforts. We proudly remain Covid-free, even as future risks remain great.However, our borders remain largely closed, as we lack the full capacity to address thepotential of even small outbreaks. While our core economic driver of fisheries is onlystarting to recover, our nation remains forced to cut back effort in core developmentareas, at a time when we clearly should have been moving forward. lt is vital that theinternational system continue to strengthen efforts to social and economic impacts ofCovid measures in small and remote island nations.

Les analyses publiées sur la situation Covid19, prédisaient un cataclysme sanitaire sur le continent Africain. Mais finalement l’Afrique et les pays dits « vulnérables », ont contredittoutes les prévisions. Ces pays, à l’instar de Madagascar, ont réussi à mieux encaisser l’impact de la Covid19 et à en tirer du positif. A Madagascar, pour nous relever de cette onde de choc, nous avons décidé d’adopter une attitudeoptimiste. A travers la concrétisation de notre vision de développement. Aujourd’hui, nous sommes en train d’écrire l’histoire d’une transformation profonde.

Vous savez, ce qui laisse pensif, c’est que quand on parle d’un pays en voie de développement comme Madagascar, c’est toujours le côté négatif, et misérable qui est véhiculé et mis en avant sur la scène internationale. Quand on parle du continent Africain, on a toujours tendance à noircir la réalité. Il est temps que la perception change, il faut arrêter de véhiculer ces préjugés et aller au-delà de ces idées reçues.

Ce qui a accentué la paupérisation et la dégradation des conditions de vies des populations. - Les classes moyennes tendent à disparaitre et trop de familles basculent dans la précarité. - L’économie mondiale est aujourd’hui dans une grave récession. Les prévisions font état d’une diminution de près de 5% des revenus par habitant, ce qui fera basculer des millions de personnes dans l'extrême pauvreté. - Les inégalités sanitaires dans le monde ont été exacerbées. Face à cette guerre, nous avons pu constater que nous n’étions pas tous égaux. Et certains pays comme Madagascar ont dû faire preuve d’audace et d’ingéniosité.Nous avons misé sur l’intelligence de nos scientifiques et notre pharmacopée traditionnelle. Nos solutions endogènes furent nos meilleures munitions.

Durant les deux années passées, le monde entier a traversé une période de bouleversement profond qui a fragilisénos économies entrainant des impacts sociaux considérables. Dans cette guerre, ce n’est ni des armes, ni une bombe nucléaire qui s’abat mais un ennemi invisible, un virus, qui s’est propagé rapidement de pays en pays, de continent en continent. Beaucoup sont tombés, 4,5 millions personnes ont perdus la vie. C’est une douloureu se réalité, un bilan accablant. - L’impact sur le marché du travail est terrible. Les chiffres de l’Organisation Internationale du Travail sont éloquents, 255 millions de personnes ont perdu leur travail à cause de la pandémie. Les pays les plus touchés sont ceux dont l’économie est basée majoritairement sur l’informel.

Je tiens avant tout à exprimer un message de solidarité du peuple Malagasy à toutes les nations et à toutes les familles qui ont été durement éprouvées par la pandémie de la Covid19. et nos Et en ces temps particulièrement difficiles, nous réitérons notre soutient encouragements au Secrétaire General Antonino Gutérres pour le leadership dont il a fait . preuve pour mener notre organisation face à cette pandémie Générale , toutes les nations sont réunies, ici au cœur des Nations Unies, pour réfléchir ensemble aux stratégies de la Covdi19. adéquates pour faire face aux effets Notre objectif est detrouver les voies et moyens pour relancer l’économie de l’après Coronavirus. Et le bien-être de nos populations doit être le pivot de toutes nos réflexions.

In collaboration with the WHO, Sri Lanka is establishing a Regional KnowledgeHub to facilitate exchange of lessons learnt from COVID19 and support countriestorecover better.

At the same time, we must recognise that the challenges surrounding production, distribution, deployment and acceptance of vaccines must be overcome urgently if the spread of dangerous new virus strains is to be prevented. Ensuring that everyone, everywhere, is vaccinated is the best way out of the pandemic

thedeadly pandemic, climate change, violent conflicts exploited by global extremists, destabilising economic fault-lines, acontinuing, global refugee crisis.

The COVID 19 pandemic was an important message and a lesson for us on how the existing international system can be easily shaken, butalso how important the endurance and the resilience of international institutions built on multilateralism is for them to be able to respond to crisis situations

Zambiahas only managed to vaccinate a mere 3 percent of its population. This is again as the country's target of vaccinating 70 percent of the eligible population by the third quarter 2022. This clearly highlights the inequitable access to vaccines developing countries,especially that more than 2 billion vaccines have been administered worldwide

Mr President,the covid-19 pandemic has had a far-reaching social economic impact globally including disturbing trade flows,supply chains,and various economic activities on our continent in the world. In addition to loss of lives,the pandemic increased poverty levels through job losses,stressed health care systems,and we're still the delivery of education to learners. Disruption to the education systems,particularly in developing countries,was in part due to inadequate information communication and technology -ICTfacilities within our countries

Monsieur le Président, Notre 76e Session se tient autour d'un thème de poignante actualité, qui est, je cite : «Construire la Résilience en espérant se remettre du Covicl-19, Reconstruire durablement, répondre aux besoins de la Planète, Respecter les droits des personnes et Revitaliser les Nations-Unies ». Cette crise qui continue de défier la communauté des Nations ne sera vaincue que par une solidarité internationale plus agissante. C'est le lieu pour moi de m'incliner pieusement devant la mémoire des victimes directes et indirectes de cette pandémie. Avec détermination, malgré des moyens limités, la République Centrafricaines s'emploie à contenir la situation épidémique dont l'impact désastreux sur tous les secteurs de l'économie nationale, a compromis les prévisions de croissance 2020 et 2021, mitigeant les acquis socio-économiques du Plan de Relèvement et de la Consolidation de la Paix en Centrafrique (RCPCA). Les estimations indiquent que si la crise est jugulée dans les (6) mois, l'économie nationale perdrait 5,8°k du PIB projeté. En revanche, si la crise perdure au-delà de six (06) mois, cette perte serait de 8,9% du PIB. Pour limiter les effets de la pandémie, mon Gouvernement veille à la sauvegarde des capacités de financement du développement.

Cette crise qui continue de défier la communauté des Nations ne sera vaincue que par une solidarité internationale plus agissante. C'est le lieu pour moi de m'incliner pieusement devant la mémoire des victimes directes et indirectes de cette pandémie.

One year on, our world is facing the combined impacts of changes unseen in a century and the COVID-19 pandemic. In all countries, people long for peace and development more than ever before, their call for equity and justice is growing stronger, and they are more determined in pursuing win-win cooperation.Right now, COVID-19 is still raging in the world, and profound changes are taking place in human society. The world has entered a period of new turbulence and transformation. It falls on each and every responsible statesman to answer the questions of our times and make a historical choice with confidence, courage and a sense of mission.First, we must beat COVID-19 and win this decisive light crucial to the future of humanity. The history of world civilization is also one of fighting pandemics. Rising to challenges, humanity has always emerged in triumph and achieved greater development and advancement. The current pandemic may appear overwhelming, but we humanity will surely overcome it and prevail,We should always put people and their lives first, and care about: the life, value and dignity of every individual. We, need to respect science, take a science-based approach, and follow the laws of science. We need to both follow routine, targeted CQVID-19 protocols and take emergency response measures, and both carry out epidemic control and promote economic and social development. We need to enhance coordinated global COVID-19 response and minimize the risk of cross-border virus transmission

onset of the global pandemic almosttwo years ago has shownthat there arecommon traits for humanitybut there are other aspects that can beshared such as challengesno matter our level of developmenthere it is appropriate to point out therelevance of this year's themereflecting the need to build ourresilience to covet 19 and our hope inrecoverythat is why we must remove all obstaclespreventingcountriesfrom accessingvaccines in a fairand equitable manneras a top priority

Llego a este magno foro en momentos únicos para la humanidad, donde enfrentamos una triple pandemiacon comunes raíces: la pandemia de la inequidad global, la pandemia del cambio climático, y la pandemia del COVID-19.

unfortunately we were reminded once again during this pandemicthat the entire world are a part of a big family but the solidarity test that we were put to failedus miserably especially the underdeveloped countries and poor segments of the societieswere literally left to their fate in the face of the pandemic

in the last two years we've really been through painful times wehave lost 4.6 million people including our friends relatives and loved ones during the covet19 pandemic which was labeled as the biggest health crisis of the last century despite all theefforts displayed and the progress was made in vaccination we still witness the continuationof the negative ramifications of the pandemic in such a climate that we are observing the76th session of the united nations general assembly and i do believe that the messages ofsolidarity and cooperation which we will be conveying here will not only support the fightagainst the pandemic but also increase the hopes of billions of people who are goingthrough very challenging times

We must attach greatest priority to strengthening international scientific cooperation to combat the pandemic. We must strengthen initiatives that have been developed with this view in mind, especially given that I want to state on behalf of Peru the signing of a world agreement between heads of state and the owners of patents to guarantee universal access to the vaccine of all inhabitants of the planet without any privileges or discrimination. This would be a serious demonstration of our commitment to life and health for all peoples.
