We also see hope in the firm commitment of president Xi, we want a safe world for all of us, unity is strength and it is proven today. The anti COVID-19 movements can’t be made successful without combined actions by the nations. COVID-19 is a global problem, no one is isolated or alone. Your problem is our problem. So it is time to be united and address the issue together, Research, good practice and action all need common approach for a safe world. See in Bangladesh we are taking precautions to tackle Omicron but same time “Kumb Mela (fair)” is organised in the other side of border which may result outburst of pandemic again. If we look at Saudi- Yemen we can see record breaking weapon deals every day, do We really need it? No, we want peace and stability.
