China News Service, Beijing, September 24 (Reporter Xia Bin Wang Enbo) The 6th Global Think Tank Summit was held in Beijing from the 23rd to the 24th.
Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd talked about the global new crown vaccine research and development during the online meeting.
He said that China has made a commitment that China's new crown vaccine research and development will be a global public product, which is good news.
"We all believe in China, we must believe in our words, and our deeds must be fruitful."
Kevin Rudd believes that the new crown epidemic is a global disaster that requires the unity of all mankind.
At present, 9 vaccines have entered phase III clinical trials around the world, and many of them have international medical cooperation, which gives everyone hope.
But the hope is still a long way to go. Vaccine research and development is only the beginning, and efficient production and fair distribution of vaccines require international collaboration.
In Rudd's view, another global challenge caused by the new crown epidemic is a new round of global economic crisis.
He believes that in the face of the current global economic crisis, countries should learn from the experience and lessons of the 2008 financial crisis.
"I have noticed that the G20 trade and investment ministers' meeting has just been held, which has released many positive signals."
Rudd also bluntly said that no crisis should be wasted. In Chinese, it is to see that crisis is organic and learn to turn crisis into opportunity. This opportunity is green recovery and sustainable development, healthier, greener, A more sustainable lifestyle will be the future direction of human development.
