April 16, 2020: UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has supported Prime Minister Imran Khan's call for a Global Initiative for debt relief to developing countries. 

At a regular virtual press briefing in New York, the Spokesman of the UN Secretary-General, Stephane Dujarric said Imran Khan’s initiative is in the same spirit as the Secretary-General’s own position.

He said the UN Chief believes that debt relief must be an important part of the response to COVID-19, including immediate waiver on interest payments for the current year.

The spokesman said it is important that the limited resources of the world’s poorest countries be used to combat the COVID-19 virus.
