As COVID-19 continues to run rampant globally, world leaders have called for international pandemic treaty. UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has joined more than 20 world leaders in calling for a new global settlement to help the world prepare for future pandemics. President Macron of France and German chancellor Angela Merkel also stated COVID-19 posed the biggest challenge since World War II, and another pandemic is not a matter of if but of when.
The aim of coming together in this way is to foster communication and aid between countries, to dispel ‘temptations of isolationism and nationalism’, and address challenges that could only be achieved together in the ‘spirit of solidarity and cooperation.’
