Stressing the importance of ensuring the universal, equitable, timely and affordable access to quality vaccines, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has said COVID-19 can never be controlled unless it is stopped everywhere.

"Developed countries should commit to technology transfer for the local manufacturing of vaccines in developing countries using IP rights waiver under TRIPS Agreement," she said, adding that Bangladesh has the capacity and is ready to produce vaccines if it gets the opportunity.

"Let's also take a renewed pledge to accomplish the 2030 Agenda for a sustainable world where our next generations stay resilient to future pandemics," she said.
