 In some ways, action against AMR is a race against time. AMR is one of the threats to the achievement of several sustainable development goals, such as ending poverty and hunger and promoting healthy lives and well-being. I urge you to please join us in creating a broader and more united front for tackling AMR, which will help to improve the health of all living creatures and the livelihood of about 4.4 billion people in the Asia and the Pacific region. That by itself is a grand goal well worth achieving by working together.
