Prior to her participation, Commissioner Kyriakides said: “The pandemic has clearly demonstrated how our global health systems are interconnected. The main lesson learned from the COVID-19 crisis is the crucial role of global cooperation and coordinated actions. The European Union has been at the forefront of the collective response to these challenges, both internally and globally, and I look forward to a meeting in which a new coherent global health security architecture and complete will be discussed.
