President Lionel Rouwen Aingimea expressed his appreciation to "genuine friends" for their valuable support in responding and containing pandemic.
He named these "genuine friends" as Australia, Taiwan, New Zealand, India, Japan and the United States.
Aingimea reminded the U.N. member states that the U.N. Charter was drafted based on the principles of universality and equality and that it was not enough to proclaim the virtues of multilateralism if they failed to strengthen their commitment to upholding the core principles of the Charter.
