Winnie Byanyima: Holding Baku forum at time when world is facing so many challenges is very important

Holding the Global Baku Forum at the time when the world is facing so many challenges is very important, Winnie Byanyima, UNAIDS Executive Director and an Under-Secretary-General of the United Nations said at the opening of the 10th Global Baku Forum.

She said she is very happy to join the event.

According to Byanyima, while three years have passed since the start of the pandemic, the sustainable development goals were not achieved in the planned volumes through that time.

The global community should unite and invest in sustainable development goals, she said stressing the need to create a new international financial system. The UNAIDS executive director added that this can ensure the fair distribution of funds.
