The Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccan Expatriates, MFA Nasser Bourita called, Tuesday, November 30, 2021, at the Ministerial Meeting of the Group of 77 and China, to make the health crisis an opportunity to consolidate a multilateral solidarity, starting with ensuring universal and equitable access to vaccines
“We should work to ensure that this health crisis serves as an opportunity to consolidate multilateralism and provide it with more solidarity,” said Bourita, who was speaking by video conference before the 45th Meeting of Foreign Ministers of the Group of 77 and China, held in New York
This solidarity comes first and foremost through ensuring universal and equitable access to vaccines, he said at this major event on “Sustainable recovery in the era of covid-19 and its impact on development,” noting that currently less than six percent of the African population is fully vaccinated
The Minister noted in this context that despite the promising global economic outlook, the recovery remains “uneven” in an “uncertain” health context marked by the emergence of new waves of contamination
