我们的联合国必须做出热忱努力，继续侧重于以人为本，以便充分满足每个人的需求。COVID-19疫情的多层面影响加剧了像我们这样的小岛屿发展中经济体的脆弱性。这场疫情突出表明，需要作出强有力的多边应对才能实现共同的基本目标。特立尼达和多巴哥热切希望，抗击这场疫情所需的集体行动能够重新点燃全球伙伴合作精神，而这正是联合国的起源。
Our United Nations must work ardently to maintain a focus on being people-centered in order to adequately address the needs of each individual. The multidimensional effects of the COVID-19 pandemic have exacerbated the vulnerabilities of small island developing economies, such as ours. This pandemic has underscored the need for a robust multilateral response to achieve a common essential goal. It is the fervent hope of Trinidad and Tobago that the collective action required in combating the pandemic can reignite the spirit of global partnership, which marked the genesis of the United Nations.
