The leaders of about 50 countries expressed their aspiration for a world dominated by "cooperation" and whose economy is characterized by more "solidity" in the post-Corona era, during a large United Nations conference held via video the day before yesterday, but in the absence of the United States, China and Russia.

The Italian Prime Minister, Giuseppe Conte, in a recorded speech delivered on the occasion of the event, which was called by Canada and Jamaica, considered that the goal should be "to leave no one behind".

In turn, South African President Cyril Ramapusa said, "We have to be innovative" and "think outside the box", recalling the invitations of the Prime Ministers of Canada and Jamaica, Justin Trudeau and Andrew Hollins. Hollins pointed out during a press conference that "the appropriate time for all countries to seek economic cooperation in order to reduce the repercussions" of the epidemic crisis, calling for "rethinking the global financial system" and "to give broad attention to global supply chains and the use of technology."

At the same press conference, United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed happiness by participating in a "solidarity meeting".

After his call to suspend the debts of the most fragile states, he demanded "to go further" and "perhaps (approve) measures to reduce" this debt in a framework of "solidarity based on needs and transparency". Among the speakers was Mauritanian President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani, who called for "systematic and immediate debt cancellation."

The Secretary-General of the United Nations played down the impact of the words of the leaders of the United States, China and Russia.

These countries could not participate at a high level because of problems at the level of agendas, but they will participate in the six working groups that were formed after the conference the day before yesterday, and set dates for holding them at the end of July and mid-September and mid-December.

It will be the tasks of these groups to work specifically on issues of fragility of developing countries, financial stability or, for example, alignment of reconstruction policies with the sustainable development goals set for the year 2030. The number of these goals is 17, and it covers various areas such as climate, environmental diversity, water, poverty, Gender equality, economic prosperity, peace, agriculture and education, while European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen considered it "more critical than ever".

She stressed during the conference that "it is necessary to work and struggle together."

A number of leaders, such as German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron, considered that the current crisis could constitute an "opportunity" to develop a "more solid" economy that strengthens the fight against climate change in particular.

While Macron regretted what he described as "profoundly questioning the approach of pluralism," he noted in a recorded video that "cooperation imposes itself" in order to provide "health for all" and secure "support to the most vulnerable countries", in Africa in particular, and to act in favor of the environment and environmental diversity. .

For his part, the President of Costa Rica, Carlos Alvarado Quesada, considered that "cooperation and not interest" should prevail in the post-epidemic crisis, while British Prime Minister Boris Johnson expressed his hope to secure momentum for "better reconstruction". "We must work together," he said, to avoid a new pandemic and get the world back on track.

Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta also called for "global solidarity," while his Senegalese counterpart Macky Sall called for "a fairer and more coherent world."

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau summarized the event by saying at the press conference, "We must work with each other, because we are all connected."
