Riyadh – Mubasher: Saudi Arabia, as president of the G20 summit, has welcomed the international call for funding the development of treatments, vaccines, and affordable diagnostics for the new coronavirus (COVID-19).

The kingdom is participating on Monday in a conference for the coronavirus global response, with the participation of the European Union, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK, and Norway.

"Countries and organisations around the world are joining forces to ensure that not only do we develop these life-saving tools but that we ensure they are universally available and affordable. No person, country or region should be left behind," said the conference's web page

The conference aims at gathering donations of around $8 billion.

It is worth noting that Saudi Arabia has previously vowed to dedicate $500 million in funding for international efforts against the pandemic.
