Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is taking part in his third international summit in a week as Canada campaigns for a coveted United Nation's Security Council seat on a platform of helping to rebuild the post-pandemic world.
Today's summit, hosted by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, is aimed at ensuring poor countries will have ready access to an eventual vaccine for the deadly coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
He told members that Canada is committed to helping developing countries hardest hit by the pandemic to survive the crisis. Trudeau's leading role in the international conferences comes just two weeks before the UN's 193 ambassadors are to start voting by secret ballot to fill two, non-permanent seats on the Security Council. Canada is competing for one of the two seats against Norway and Ireland.
