Boris Johnson Calls for G7 Cooperation on Global Threats

Around the world, make sure everybody gets the vaccines that they need so that the whole world can come through this pandemic together. I know that several colleagues have already announced that idea, and we in the U.K. strongly, strongly support it. And of course, we also want to work together on building back better from the pandemic, a slogan that I think that Joe has used several times. I think he may have nicked it from us, but I certainly nicked it from somewhere else — I think probably some U.N. disaster relief program — but we want to build back better from the pandemic. I think what we want to do with our plan is to ensure that the building back better, the green technology that we are going to use to tackle climate change, delivers the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of new green-collar jobs that we know it can produce. Jobs and growth is what we’re going to need after this pandemic, and I think that the build back better operation offers the right way forward.
