NEW YORK (Bernama): UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday stressed the need for a global approach to pandemic prevention, preparedness and response, stressing that no country can protect itself from pandemics alone.
"The COVID-19 pandemic taught us that, in our interconnected world, no country can protect itself alone. We learned this at immense human and economic cost," Guterres said in a speech read on his behalf by UN Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed at a high-level meeting on combating pandemics.
