To conquer the COVID-19 pandemic requires global cooperation, and China has made great contributions, said Jagan Chapagain, secretary-general of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, at a sub-forum of the Boao Forum for Asia 2022 via video link.

To promote equality in vaccination is a pressing issue and it requires global cooperation to defeat the epidemic. China has made great contributions to promoting safe and accessible vaccines for vulnerable groups.

No one is truly safe until everyone is safe. An effective cooperation mechanism on a global scale is needed to promote vaccination and protect future generations from the COVID-19 pandemic.
