6. 主席说，委员会一般性辩论的主题为“冠状病毒病之后重建得更好：确保更公平的全球经济、更加包容的社会和可持续的恢复”，表明了冠状病毒病(COVID-19)将对包括消除贫困、粮食安全和营养等优先领域在内的委员会工作，以及委员会将在本届会议上通过的各项决议产生的深远影响。委员会将讨论就秘书长提出的在 2021 年召开世界粮食体系峰会的倡议的筹备情况，并审议这一大流行病对宏观经济政策、发展筹资、贸易和债务可持续性以及各特殊处境国家组、特别是最不发达国家、小岛屿发展中国家和内陆发展中国家的影响。在这方面，委员会还将审查《小岛屿发展中国家快速行动方式(萨摩亚途径)》执行方面的差距。
6. The Chair said that the theme of the Committee’s general debate, entitled “Building back better after COVID-19: ensuring a more equitable global economy, inclusive societies and sustainable recovery”, reflected the profound impact that the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) would have on the Committee’s work, including such priority areas as the eradication of poverty, food security and nutrition, and on the resolutions that it would adopt in the current session. The Committee would discuss preparations for the initiative by the Secretary-General to convene a world food systems summit in 2021 and consider the implications of the pandemic for macroeconomic policy, financing for development, trade and debt sustainability and groups of countries in special situations, in particular the least developed countries, small island developing States and landlocked developing countries. In that regard, it would also review gaps in the implementation of the SIDS Accelerated Modalities of Action (SAMOA) Pathway (Samoa Pathway).
