In particular, we welcome her continued leadership in the fight to end the Pandemic, and her calls for the whole world to have access to the tools needed to beat the virus. African voices, leadership and drive for a better world for all must be welcomed and encouraged. In this extraordinary time, we trust that her leadership as the first woman and African to lead the WTO will ensure that true global cooperation takes center stage again.
