1. “In this regard, whilst the pandemic has dealt a devastating blow to the economic and social development of all countries, especially developing countries, we must not be disheartened. Yes, years will be needed to come back to the stage where we were before the start of the pandemic. But it is also true that the stage has been set to build a healthier, greener, fairer and more resilient and sustainable world that ensures that no country or person is left behind. I therefore firmly believe that our collective efforts need to be stepped up. As does our coordination to ensure the successful implementation of the Goals in their entirety. Achieving the SDGs and harnessing the potential they represent is beyond the reach of any single country.”

2. “Secretary General, President of the General Assembly, Excellencies, The current global pandemic has taught how truly interconnected and interdependent our world is. It affected our health, our economies and our societies. However, at a time when multilateralism is threatened, a health crisis brought into focus the need for global cooperation. And 75 years after the setting up of this organisation — the United Nations, we find ourselves yet again in a position where we need to work together to overcome another common challenge. It gives us a chance to create a better life, a better future. A future where solidarity is global. A future for which we have the opportunity to prepare and to identify better and more creative ways to deliver on our 2030 Agenda.”
