<p>The UK supports the UN Secretary-General's call for a global ceasefire in armed
conflicts. We are deeply concerned about the impact that Covid-19 will have on vulnerable
countries, particularly those tackling extreme poverty. We continue to work within
the UN Security Council to promote initiatives which will build on the global ceasefire
and marshal support for UN efforts to take forward peace processes and mitigate risks
of conflict escalation. To give a specific example, the UK and Germany are leading
on negotiations in the Council to establish a new UN mission in Sudan which, within
its support for ongoing political transition, will also have a mandate to support
the peace process and implementation of any future peace agreement.</p><p>The UK is
leading with partners and allies to support an effective and co-ordinated global health
response led by the World Health Organisation, reinforce the resilience of vulnerable
countries, pursue a vaccine and support the global economy. The UK is working together
with international partners to achieve these objectives, including with the G7, G20,
the UN and other multilateral institutions, in order to ensure a stronger global effort.</p>
