Peru has saluted the Carbis Bay Declaration, through which G7 leaders pledged to put an end to the coronavirus pandemic with the safe vaccination of as many people as possible in the shortest time, providing one billion doses over the next year.

Via Twitter, the Presidency of the Republic affirmed that "we agree on the importance of strengthening collective defenses against threats to global health, coordinating vaccine manufacturing capacity on every continent, and defining actions to face future pandemics with effective multilateral action."

"We share the vision of a global recovery with policies aimed at facing the immediate impacts of the pandemic on health and the economy, as well as its effects on the economic and social transformations linked to this time of changes," it added.

The Group of Seven (G7) is an inter-governmental forum composed of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
