"Since the beginning of the pandemic, Italy has called for a response that was multilateral and multidimensional
, based on international cooperation and solidarity and driven by science, medicine and innovation.
The impending second wave of the pandemic richal Paris Peace Forum requires all governments to make difficult decisions and ask our citizens for major sacrifices.
Yet, solutions on a national basis are not enough ": Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said this, speaking." We must continue to focus on international partnership, for one simple reason: while there are no borders for the virus, we can only successfully fight it if we put together the efforts to limit its circulation and to identify the most effective remedies ", added Conte.
'
We welcome the vaccine news that comes from research
.
We are confident that science, medicine and technology will provide the tools we need.
Now it is our responsibility to ensure that, once available, we will be ready for distribution in a safe, effective, timely and fair manner all over the world
", Conte also said:" It is a huge challenge that requires very careful planning ".
'
The upcoming Italian presidency of the G20 will put Global Health at the top of the agenda and is fully committed to pushing and supporting the crucial work of the ACT Accelerator,
"Conte stressed." Together with the European Commission, Italy will host a' Global Health Summit 'in 2021, which will focus on our response to the pandemic, the financial support needed for the Accelerator and the goal of building resilient national health systems. "" Humanity needs leadership and solidarity to defeat the coronavirus .
Italy is ready to contribute to this common goal.
Together we can move out of the 'crown world' and transform it into a better collective destiny for us and our children, "the premier said." Providing global access to health services is a moral, political, social and economic imperative. It is also clear that the fight against the virus is instrumental not only to save millions of lives but also to overcome the heavy socio-economic consequences of the pandemic. We should not underestimate their importance since they can be very destructive of the social fabric of our countries ", he added.
