Moon again highlighted the need for solidarity and cooperation in the international community.
I hope for the smooth exchange of personnel and essential goods. In particular, I look forward to more active exchanges between countries by expanding fast-track entry procedures.
Moon also stressed the need for fair and equal distribution of treatment and vaccines to put a complete end to the COVID-19 pandemic.
