President Irfaan Ali yesterday urged the United Nations to strengthen solidarity to address the COVID-19 pandemic and commit to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
“This pandemic has brought to the forefront the development bottlenecks faced by developing countries, ranging from insufficient financing, inadequate market access for goods and services, the expanding digital divide, restrictions in accessing needed pharmaceuticals and medical supplies and reductions in revenue from tourism and exports, among others,” he told the Assembly on behalf of the G-77 and China.
