  • The health threats faced by mankind are far more than just the Covid-19. We should always keep the world in mind, put people first, and carry out global actions against various threats to human health to benefit the common future of mankind.

    ———Margaret Chan, President of Global Health Forum of Boao Forum for Asia
  • People have a better understanding of health and can pay more attention to the close relationship between health and sustainable economic development.

    ———Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, Princess of Thailand
  • As becoming carbon-neutral is of global importance, like human health, Japan and China should explore a framework in Asian while achieving resource complementarity. Just as Japan and China need to work together to create peace and stability in the world, this is a time when we should keep up the spirit of co-creation.


    ———Toshihiro Nikai, Secretary-General of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan
  • The spread of Covid-19 has no borders, and the global pandemic is a common issue faced by the entire international community. In this case, what is most needed is international cooperation and coordination.


    ———Yasuo Fukuda, Former Prime Minister of Japan and Chairman of Council of Advisors of BFA
  • Politicization is definitely not the attitude we should have in response to the global pandemic crisis. We should think about how to build a multilateral system.


    ———Jenny Shipley, Member of Board of Directors of BFA and Former Prime Minister of New Zealand
  • There are many global consensus for the idea of signing an international treaty for pandemic response. Such a binding, high-level treaty increased the accountability for the implementation of health regulations and provided a framework for collaboration in China. The pandemic has shown that health is not a luxury, or an outcome of economic development, but a human right, and foundation of security.


    ———Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of World Health Organization
