It is the sense of Congress that the United States must exercise leadership in the international community’s response to the COVID–19 pandemic regarding public health and economic recovery and resiliency, including by— leveraging multilateral fora, such as the Group of Seven
(G7)and the Group of Twenty (G20), which constitute more than 30 percent and 70 percent of the global economy, respectively, to coordinate an effective international response to persistent economic issues related to supply chains, inflation, and inequality; revitalizing the United Nations and its associated institutions to coordinate and facilitate international initiatives that— promote global health and economic security; and build resilience to present and forecasted shocks and stresses that impede economic growth or trigger, contribute to, result in, or cause backsliding; empowering like-minded allies and partners to leverage their respective strengths and assume greater responsibilities in such international fora and institutions; continuing to fund and finance international initiatives, such as COVAX, to provide and distribute life-saving vaccinations and medical treatments for COVID–19; promoting an equitable international economic recovery that promotes building developing countries’ resilience capacities to address enduring disparities and challenges facing lower and middle income countries in addition to more recent challenges related to high-levels of global inflation and market volatility; and supporting an impartial, independent, and international investigation into the origins of the COVID–19 pandemic to derive lessons learned and prevent similar international disasters in the future.
