Amman, May 4, 2020, SPA -- Jordanian King Abdullah II reaffirmed today that chances of success against the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic increase exponentially when countries work in partnership, building each other's capacities and bolstering cooperation, rather than competing. Delivering remarks at the Coronavirus Global Response Pledging Conference organized by the European Union, King Abdullah reiterated that failure against COVID-19 is not an option. King Abdullah called for a better-integrated world and a new approach of "re-globalization" that would bolster international cooperation and safeguard the wellbeing of peoples as a top priority. --SPA 22:28 LOCAL TIME 19:28 GMT 0026 www.spa.gov.sa/w1321630
