"In the context of the epidemic, every country is trying to give its own answers and to contribute to the answers on the global stage. There is no doubt that global challenges like the epidemic can only be overcome with global efforts," said Merkel.

Pointing out that the global vaccine programs ACT Accelerator and COVAX against COVID-19 have been launched, Merkel said that this global program serves the development and distribution of medicines and vaccines.

"The goal is to distribute two billion doses of the vaccine by the end of 2021. About five billion dollars have been collected for this initiative," Merkel said.

Merkel said that the World Health Organization (WHO) must be strengthened, and concluded:

"We need reliable finances, better cooperation, greater independence. The G20 can provide important and much-needed support here. If we stand together around the world, we can control and overcome the virus. That's why we need more effort," she said.
