今天的活动以及今天仍在继续进行的辩论，是在世界处于极度动荡的时候举行的，而这种动荡因造成严重经济和社会影响的前所未有的全球卫生危机而加剧。这场危机暴露了我们各国的脆弱性及其相互依存性。促进一个负责任、开放和支助性的多边系统的必要性从未如此明显。
Today’s event, along with its debate, which continues today, comes at a time when the world is in the throes of profound upheaval, amplified by an unprecedented global health crisis with serious economic and social repercussions. It has laid bare the vulnerability of our States and their interdependence. Never before has the need to promote a responsible, open and supportive multilateral system been so evident.
