Analysis: At U.N. General Assembly, war overshadows pandemic
has cast doubt over any diplomatic progress that could be made on Tehran’s nuclear weapons.
When Biden spoke at the General Assembly last year, he said the words “covid-19” 10 times and “pandemic” six times. This year, he focused instead on countering Russia and other authoritarian states, saying “covid-19” just three times and mentioning “pandemic” only once. There have also been discussions about preparing for the next pandemic. On Thursday, I moderated a panel co-sponsored by a South Africa-based mRNA technology and training hub, backed by the World Health Organization. The hub aims to start a global network of vaccine research sites in developing nations.The idea is that the hub would train other sites, or “spokes,” so that when the world faces its next pandemic, richer names won’t be able to hoard the vaccine supply.
David Lammy, a member of the British opposition, noted that the country had pledged at least $2.6 billion in military aid to Ukraine in 2023. Countries that needed aid would surely be aware of that too, he. “In the past, I have said Britain’s foreign policy has become too transactional, but this isn’t even transactional. This is just ill-thought-out,” he said.
