Then the first working session dedicated in particular to economics and social justice will start under the title "Building Back Better: Recovery for All" (Rebuilding for the better: a recovery for all), followed by focused sessions tomorrow (always under the title "BulidingBack" ) on flexibility, on foreign policy, on health and vaccines, and on Sunday on open society and finally on the climate and a greener policy.
The final three sessions will be extended to guest leaders from Australia, South Korea, India and South Africa. Yesterday the eve was dominated by the presence of the new American president JoeBiden, and by his bilateral with the landlord BorisJohnson: a meeting on the sidelines of which the ambition to give life to a new Atlantic Charter to sanction the birth of "a front of the democracies "in the face of the challenge of countries such as China or Russia; but above all, the donation of one billion doses of anti Covid vaccines to the poorest countries of the planet between this year and the first half of 2022 was announced.
