Trust is key to realising vaccine multilateralism, says EDB chairman
Singapore
TRUST and partnerships between countries to tackle the Covid-19 crisis are needed more than ever to realise vaccine multilateralism, the chairman of the Economic Development Board of Singapore said on Wednesday.
Speaking to about 2,000 participants from across the world at the opening ceremony of the 50th St Gallen Symposium, Dr Beh Swan Gin said he is particularly proud that Singapore and Switzerland came together to co-chair the Friends of the Covax Facility "despite the glaring lack of international cooperation in the past year".
