WHO Director-General expresses gratitude to Azerbaijani President
“I would like to express my sincere gratitude to President Ilham Aliyev and the Government of Azerbaijan, as well as to the Nizami Ganjavi International Center, for their warm hospitality,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO), said at the opening ceremony of the 13th Global Baku Forum.
Describing the COVID-19 pandemic as an invisible enemy, the WHO chief emphasized that the coronavirus claimed nearly 20 million lives, more than any war in living memory, and inflicted losses exceeding 10 trillion US dollars on the global economy, News.Az reports, citing AZERTAC.
“In our fragmented world, health is one of the areas where countries must come together, regardless of ideology or divisions, to seek collective solutions to shared threats,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus emphasized.
