２０２０年６月２９日（Mon.） やはり、EUは、期待した共同体としての動きを出しているようです。一般論としては、地域毎の連携が先のようにも思いますが、地球全体としての連携も必要でしょう、可能ならば。その意味で、東アジア・東南アジアでの協力体制や、UN（国連）での連携を望みたいところです。そして、日本のPMが、普段から注目に値するリーダーシップ発言をして来ているのであれば、聞く耳を持つ人（国）もあるのでしょうが、実態としては期待出来そうにありません。仮に有ったとしたら、“金“で便宜を供与している相手ぐらいにしか思えません。（ニュースソース： DWーDE ６月２７日発 ）

A virtual pledging summit held on Saturday as the culmination of a campaign launched by the European Commission and advocacy group Global Citizen has raised €6.15 billion ($7.01 billion) to help fight the coronavirus pandemic, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.
The conference, entitled Global Goal: Unite for Our Future — the Summit, was attended by several world leaders, artists and activists.
Von der Leyen spoke of an unbelievable result. The Commission and Germany together pledged around €5.3 billion, and other large pledges came from the US and Canada, among other countries.
Angela Merkel promised an additional €383 million at the summit while von der Leyen announced that the EU would provide an additional €4.9 billion. Germany had earlier promised €525 million for investments in vaccines.
Almost €10 billion was collected from EU, governments and billionaire philanthropists at a first fund-raising summit on May 4.
Speaking before the summit, von der Leyen said that a challenge such as the pandemic can be met "only if the world unites," stressing that investment in vaccines was needed at "unprecedented speed and scale."
Reporting on the summit, DW's chief international editor Richard Walker said much of the money would go to organizations that can coordinate the production and testing of vaccines.
Star-studded concert
Star musicians and actors then took part in an online concert also aimed at gaining funding to help the world combat the pandemic with vaccines and medication and to aid the hardest-hit communities to recover.
The concert, entitled Global Goal: United for our Future — the Concert, was hosted by actor Dwayne Johnson, and featured performances by musicians such as Shakira, Justin Bieber and Miley Cyrus.
Personalities such as Chris Rock, Hugh Jackman, Charlize Theron and David Beckham also took the stage.
Ahead of the events, von der Leyen spoke of the power of artists "to inspire change." She said that at the two events, artists, scientists and world leaders would "speak with one voice, in a true and rare moment of global unity."
She also said the European Union was "fully committed to ensuring fair access to an affordable vaccine, as soon as possible, for everyone that needs it."
