As a consequence of COVID-19 crisis, the whole world, both developed and developing countries alike, is most likely to face recession period which will be more severe than 2008 great recession. In order to tackle post Covid-19 recessionary period, the multilateral institutions need to strengthen the cooperation and must help the developing countries for effective preparedness to help prevent the spread of pandemic.

Experts said this during an online COVID-19 policy response dialogue titled “Role and Future of Multilateral Institutes” organised by the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) here at Islamabad.

Executive Director, SDPI, Dr Abid Qaiyum Suleri said that irrespective of their development status, no country can afford a permanent or indefinite lockdown. This is the time when multilateralism has become extremely important. He said that this new normal is closing our borders, and unless we have a solution to this problem, we need to bring back the spirit of multilateralism to overcome this Covid-19 pandemic.

Additional Secretary, Director General UN, Foreign Office, Farrukh Iqbal Khan said that the world has no option but to enhance the multilateral cooperation to combat the Covid-19 challenge.
