Format
Vielen dank, Herr Bundespräsident, for your kind words, and thank you so much for your leadership and partnership.
As His Excellency said, we have just had a very constructive discussion about the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, and about how we can strengthen the relationship between Germany and WHO even further.
Germany and WHO have had a strong relationship for many years, but that relationship has become even stronger in recent years.
I very much appreciate the leadership of Federal President Steinmeier, Chancellor Merkel and Minister Spahn during the pandemic, and their support for WHO and for global health.
