Voice of America
The coronavirus pandemic, climate change and food security are on the agenda Tuesday as foreign ministers from the G-20 group of nations meet in Italy.
The talks in the city of Matera represent the first time the ministers are gathering in person since 2019. "To bring the pandemic to an end, we must get more vaccine to more places," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in his opening remarks. "Multilateral cooperation will be key to stop this global health crisis." Blinken also highlighted U.S. contributions to the COVAX dose-sharing facility to get supply of COVID-19 vaccines to low- and middle-income countries and praised Italy for making the pandemic a focus of Tuesday’s meetings.More Related News
