President Joko Widodo urged all countries to prioritize the health of their citizens when reactivating the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic, at the 75th UN General Assembly online on Wednesday.
"Revitalization of the economy must prioritize the health of all citizens of the world. A healthy and productive world needs to be our priority. We will only achieve these if all of us continue to work together," he said.
"From the economic perspective, revitalization of economic activities needs to start gradually by tackling the limits of our global supply chain today," he added.
Joko Widodo also urges all countries to pursue equal access to an affordable COVID-19 vaccine.
"Vaccine will be the game-changer in the war against the pandemic. We need to work together to ensure that all countries have equal access to a safe vaccine at an affordable price," he said. (RRI)
