The top official highlighted the importance of multilateralism in the fight against coronavirus, so that global response to this health crisis is collective, supportive, and transparent.
In this regard, the statesman appreciated the support for the Special Communiqué that includes the Peruvian proposal to establish multilateral mechanisms, which share the risks derived from the acquisition or administration of vaccines against the pandemic in financial or insurance operations, supported by financial organizations such as the Inter-American Development Bank or other specialized organizations.
Likewise, Mr. Sagasti emphasized promoting Ibero-American cooperation, South-South and triangular cooperation, as instruments with great potential to complement national efforts with a view to overcoming critical deficiencies in fields such as science, technology, and innovation.
