Covid Vaccines, Rescue Operations, Other Assistance: India A Friend In Need For Nations

News 18  

The President of Guyana Dr. Irfan Ali recently mentioned something that is symptomatic of India’s foreign policy and our place in the global narrative. The president waxed eloquent on India’s global vaccine policy, especially thanking Prime Minister Narendra Modi for standing up for love and hope in times when globalisation failed them. When earthquake hit Nepal in 2015, India initiated ‘Operation Maitri’, and we dispatched 450 NDRF personnel and 43 tonnes of relief material within 6-7 hours. During the early phase of the coronavirus crisis, when America desperately needed hydroxychloroquine tablets, India exported 50 million of them, following which US former president Donald Trump acknowledged India’s co-operation in these extraordinary times. A plethora of world leaders like WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, US President Joe Biden and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have called India’s efforts as extraordinary, a testimony that Democracy can deliver.
