Prime Minister Imran Khan has told a high-level UN virtual event that the world will recover from the coronavirus crisis if it is treated as a global problem.

"I am sure if the developed countries put their minds together and treat this as a global situation, we will come out of it unscathed," he said.

The premier stressed that the crisis has to be dealt with holistically as "a global problem with global solutions" to provide relief to the developing world's six billion people.
