我对COVID-19大流行对人民生活以及各国社会和经济的负面影响深感关切。它危及实现可持续发展目标的努力，并有可能加深现有的其他问题。在这个日益互联的世界上，行动要取得成效——我们各国公民完全有权期待如此——就需要多边解决办法。只有通过真正的合作，我们才能“重建得更好、更公平、更环保”。
I am deeply concerned by the negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on people’s lives, our societies and economies. It jeopardizes efforts to achieve the SDGs and risks deepening other existing problems. In an increasingly interconnected world, effective actions — that our citizens have every right to expect — require multilateral solutions. Only by working truly together we can “build back better, fairer and greener”.
