The newly adopted resolution underscores the urgent need to enhance preparedness for future global health emergencies and emphasizes a comprehensive approach that mobilizes all government agencies and society as a whole to achieve this goal.
The resolution calls for strengthening multilateral commitments, promoting close cooperation between member states and UN agencies, particularly the World Health Organization (WHO), and affirms the need to ensure the equitable and timely development, distribution, and access to vaccines to overcome shortcomings in disease prevention, preparedness, and response.
The designation of Vietnam as co-coordinator of the Resolution by the President of the UN General Assembly is a recognition and expression of the international community's trust in Vietnam's achievements and positive contributions to the global fight against the pandemic in recent times.
Speaking at the session, Vice President of the UN General Assembly Gheorghe Leucă, on behalf of the member states, expressed his sincere gratitude to the Ambassadors of Vietnam and Chile for their proactive and extensive consultations, which significantly contributed to the preparation process for this important and meaningful summit.
