75. Prasad先生(斐济)代表太平洋小岛屿发展中国家发言说，冠状病毒病大流行扩大了南北之间的鸿沟。最脆弱国家的恢复需要资金，特别就小岛屿发展中国家而言，资金显然是不够的。此外，获得优惠融资的标准不再有什么意义。应对当前危机的新政策必须包括债务重组和一个促进更环保、更加包容的全球经济的框架。联合国在制定这一对策方面可以发挥关键作用。
75. Mr. Prasad (Fiji), speaking on behalf of the Pacific small island developing States, said that the COVID-19 pandemic had amplified the divide between North and South. Recovery in the most vulnerable countries required financing that, in the particular case of small island developing States, was clearly insufficient. Moreover, the criteria for obtaining access to concessional finance were no longer relevant. A new policy response to the current crisis must include debt restructuring and a framework for a greener and more inclusive global economy. The United Nations had a key role to play in shaping that response.
