Statement Summary
FREDERICK MUSIIWA MAKAMURE SHAVA (Zimbabwe) said challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic amplify efforts needed to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, urging all countries to work together in combating the coronavirus. Zimbabwe believes in a fair and just community of nations without the spectre of mounting national and unilateral actions. He expressed concern over illegal, unilateral draconian measures against States, which subvert efforts to achieve development and the ability to fully participate in the global economy. The world needs a fair economic order benefiting all States, large and small, that benefits development of the poorest countries.
