根据2006年9月在纽约发起的全球卫生与外交政策倡议，巴西、法国、印度尼西亚、挪威、塞内加尔、南非和泰国外交部长于2007年3月20日在奥斯陆发表了以下声明--在当今全球化和相互依存的时代，迫切需要扩大外交政策的范围。我们共同面临着一些迫切的挑战，需要协调一致的对策和协作努力。我们必须鼓励新的想法，寻求和发展新的伙伴关系和机制，并创造新的合作模式。我们认为，卫生是我们时代最重要但仍被广泛忽视的长期外交政策问题之一。生命和健康是我们最宝贵的资产。人们日益认识到，投资于健康是经济增长和发展的根本。人们普遍承认，对健康的威胁可能损害一个国家的稳定和安全。我们认为，卫生作为一个外交政策问题，需要在国际议程上得到更有力的战略关注。因此，我们同意把对健康的影响作为出发点和决定性的透镜，我们每个国家将利用它来审查外交政策和发展战略的关键要素，并就如何从这一角度处理政策选择进行对话。作为外交部长，我们将努力：通过将卫生问题更有力地纳入外交政策讨论和决策的舞台，提高人们对我们在健康威胁面前共同脆弱性的认识，以加强我们对全球一致行动的承诺;建立双边，通过加强协作和促成广泛协议、问责制和行动，开展区域和多边合作，促进全球卫生安全;加强卫生作为发展和消除贫困战略的一个关键要素，以实现千年发展目标;确保在处理贸易问题和遵守多哈原则时更加优先重视卫生，申明每个国家都有权充分利用《与贸易有关的知识产权协议》的灵活性，以确保普遍获得药品;加强卫生措施在冲突和危机管理以及重建工作中的地位。为此，我们制定了第一套可行步骤，在《行动议程》中提高卫生在外交政策中的优先地位。我们保证在我们各自的区域环境中和在有关国际机构中探讨这些问题。我们邀请所有区域的外交部长与我们一道进一步探讨实现我们目标的方式方法。
Under their initiative on Global Health and Foreign Policy, launched in September, 2006, in New York, the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of Brazil, France, Indonesia, Norway, Senegal, South Africa, and Thailand issued the following statement in Oslo on March 20, 2007-In today's era of globalisation and interdependence there is an urgent need to broaden the scope of foreign policy. Together, we face a number of pressing challenges that require concerted responses and collaborative efforts. We must encourage new ideas, seek and develop new partnerships and mechanisms, and create new paradigms of cooperation. We believe that health is one of the most important, yet still broadly neglected, long-term foreign policy issues of our time. Life and health are our most precious assets. There is a growing awareness that investment in health is fundamental to economic growth and development. It is generally acknowledged that threats to health may compromise a country's stability and security. We believe that health as a foreign policy issue needs a stronger strategic focus on the international agenda. We have therefore agreed to make impact on health a point of departure and a defining lens that each of our countries will use to examine key elements of foreign policy and development strategies, and to engage in a dialogue on how to deal with policy options from this perspective. As Ministers of Foreign Affairs, we will work to: increase awareness of our common vulnerability in the face of health threats by bringing health issues more strongly into the arenas of foreign policy discussions and decisions, in order to strengthen our commitment to concerted action at the global level; build bilateral, regional and multilateral cooperation for global health security by strengthening the case for collaboration and brokering broad agreement, accountability, and action; reinforce health as a key element in strategies for development and for fighting poverty, in order to reach the Millennium Development Goals; ensure that a higher priority is given to health in dealing with trade issues and in conforming to the Doha principles, affirming the right of each country to make full use of TRIPS flexibilities in order to ensure universal access to medicines; strengthen the place of health measures in conflict and crisis management and in reconstruction efforts. For this purpose, we have prepared a first set of actionable steps for raising the priority of health in foreign policy in an Agenda for Action. We pledge to pursue these issues in our respective regional settings and in relevant international bodies. We invite Ministers of Foreign Affairs from all regions to join us in further exploring ways and means to achieve our objectives.
