GOTABAYA RAJAPAKSA, President of Sri Lanka, highlighted his nation¡¯s success in facing the challenge of the coronavirus through proactive intervention, noting that his Government established a National Action Committee for Preventing COVID?19 even before the first patient was detected in the country.  Further, the steps initiated earlier in 2020 for alleviating poverty by enhancing local production and assisting small- and medium?scale entrepreneurs are paying off.  Multilateralism is increasingly important in the wake of calamities such as the COVID?19 pandemic, he said, adding that the United Nations must ensure that the partnerships fostered with Member States do not hold any country hostage to the interests of a few.
