Vladimir Putin, speaking on Saturday at the G20 summit, said that the G20 countries need to work out the issue of recognising each others' certificates of COVID-19 vaccination as soon as possible, and added that the WHO should accelerate decisions on the safety of new vaccines and drugs.

This two-day event was the culmination of a series of talks held during Italy's presidency of the G20. It focused, among other things, on paving the way to rebuilding the world economy differently: through the better use of renewable energies, and with a firm commitment to protecting the environment and fighting climate change.
