The summit, held virtually with the participation of a number
of heads of state and leaders from international organisations and
philanthropies, aims to expand on global efforts to counter the COVID-19
pandemic and bolster recovery.
In a recorded message at the summit, King Abdullah stressed
the importance of building a concentrated international response to pandemics,
calling for more cohesive and coordinated efforts to mitigate the health,
humanitarian, and economic repercussions of such diseases.
His Majesty noted that the international community has an
interest and a moral responsibility in ensuring the equitable and effective
distribution of vaccines, noting Jordan’s efforts in providing vaccines for
citizens, residents, and refugees alike.
The King reaffirmed the need to continue vaccination
campaigns to build global immunity, noting that it would, in turn, boost
economic recovery efforts.
The summit, in line with the US administration’s effort to
build a unified global target in the fight against
COVID-19, was held to help
achieve the target of vaccinating 70 percent of the world’s population within a
year.
During the summit, President Biden announced a series of
measures to help achieve that goal, including donating 500 million more vaccine
shots to lower-income countries.
