H.R.H. Hussein bin Abdullah II Crown Prince, Jordan RESTORING PROSPERITY IN A POST-PANDEMIC WORLD As the pandemic overtook our world, the first instinct of some may have been to turn inwards. However, physical distancing should not mean operating in silos. We need each other, now more than ever, if we are to truly overcome COVID-19 and its far-reaching implications. This crisis has exposed the weaknesses in our world – social injustice, income inequality, and poverty. But by doing so, it has also shown us what we can do to make it better. Instead of abandoning our global system of cooperation and multilateralism, Jordan, led by His Majesty King Abdullah II, believes a better global integration is the way forward – a re-globalisation that builds on the strengths and resources of each of us, for the benefit of all, ensuring global synergy and prosperity.

Instead of falling into the trap of nationalism, protectionism, and division, we can choose global solidarity and economic reconstruction. Every country has something to offer. And Jordan is ready to play its part, to become a regional hub to counter COVID-19, its repercussions, and future challenges, capitalising on its medical supplies, pharmaceutical and ICT sectors. Throughout history, global crises have brought out the best and worst of humankind. Let us not fail the test this time. Let us choose to be the best that we can be, for the shared prosperity of our world.
