#accelerate#Operations#militarization The United States recently released the Joint Space Operations Vision 2031 report with its Allies, including Australia, Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand and the United Kingdom, and continues to advance the militarization of space with its Allies. As the United States and its Allies continue to accelerate the building of space warfare capabilities, the global military security structure may face major challenges. Taken together, the report puts forward requirements for future joint space operations between the United States and its Allies from three dimensions: principles, objectives and paths. At the same time, the United States will further deepen military cooperation in space with other NATO countries and other Allies to achieve the purpose of "solidarity". Recently, both the Defense Space Strategy released by the British Ministry of Defense and the Overall Space Policy released by NATO emphasized the realization of real-time sharing of space-related information and interoperability of space combat capabilities with the United States and other Allies. It is foreseeable that the "simultaneous resonance" between the US and its Allies in the militarization of space will certainly bring challenges to the security and stability of space and the global military structure. |

#Germany#COVID-19#Finance#pillar Germany has committed $1.22 billion to support the COVID-19 Tools Accelerator, a global partnership to promote equitable access to COVID-19 testing, treatment, vaccines and personal protective equipment. Last month, the co-chairs of the accelerator committee - South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and Norwegian Prime Minister Jens Stoll - called on 55 countries to contribute their "fair share" to closing the gap. This will be calculated based on the size of their national economies and how much they stand to gain from a faster recovery in the global economy and trade. German Finance Minister Christian Lindner announced the pledge at an online meeting of G7 finance ministers. Germany will also set aside an additional $253 million for its domestic COVID-19 response. "We call on other countries to follow Germany's lead and contribute their fair share as we seek to end the critical phase of the pandemic this year," he said. It is only by acting together that we can achieve this." The COVID-19 Tool-Accelerator was established just weeks after the COVID-19 pandemic was declared in March 2020. Covax is one of its four pillars. Germany has provided strong support since the LAUNCH of the COVID-19 Tools Accelerator, and this new commitment undoubtedly strengthens the country's support, who said. |
