(MENAFN)U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Thursday urged finance ministers of the Group of 20 (G20) to strengthen cooperation to contain the COVID-19 pandemic and boost global recovery.
"For more than a year the global community has faced a historic challenge from the dual health and economic crises caused by the pandemic," Yellen said in a letter to her G20 colleagues, one day ahead of a videoconference of G20 finance ministers and central bank governors.
"No one nation alone can declare victory over these crises. Indeed, our cooperation has never mattered more. This is a moment made for action and for multilateralism," Yellen said, adding G20's first task must be stopping the virus.
