Singapore has been doing our part collecting and analysing data on the coronavirus, in order to better understand this new threat. But our efforts alone are not enough. A global pandemic requires a coordinated global response, especially in scientific research and government actions.
Speaking to the virtual #GlobalGoalUnite Summit organised by Global Citizen, I emphasised the importance of vaccine multilateralism in our common fight against COVID-19.
Singapore looks forward to working with the European Commission and like-minded countries, as well as the World Health Organization (WHO), Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, to develop vaccines and distribute them fairly and expeditiously to people in all countries.
The search for vaccines may take some time, but we will maximise our chances of tackling COVID-19 by working together.
