To combat Corona ... the major powers are moving to support an international call for a comprehensive truce in the world

French President Emmanuel Macron announced that he agreed with the leaders of the United States, China and Britain to support the call of the United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for a global truce, to focus on confronting the Corona virus, and Moscow said it was studying the proposal.

In radio statements, Macron revealed that US President Donald Trump, Chinese President Xi Jinping and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson all confirmed their support for a call made by Guterres on March 23 for a global truce.

The French President added that he will speak in the coming hours with his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, expressing his belief that Putin will agree to the call for a truce, to be announced in an official, strong and effective manner soon.

In Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Wednesday, "It is clear that the work is continuing. The diplomats are working. Once the work is completed and we agree with the partners, statements will be issued in this regard."

Last Saturday, the United Nations envoys called for an immediate cease-fire in the countries of the Middle East, and they urged all warring parties to leave hostilities, and renewed previous full-time calls to confront the Corona virus.

The United Nations envoys to the Middle East issued a joint statement calling for activating the call of the United Nations Secretary-General, launched on 23 March last, to focus on the "real battle", in reference to confronting the Corona virus.

These moves come four days after a joint statement was signed by UN envoys to Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and the Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, in which they called the warring parties in the region to take steps to negotiate an immediate cessation of hostilities, maintain the current ceasefire, and act With the United Nations to stop the spread of Corona.

Guterres has called for a global truce, warning of the collapse of the health system in war-ravaged countries and targeting the remaining medical personnel in combat operations.
