India s delegation to the G7 is self-isolating after two of its members tested positive for Covid-19.
At the centre of this effort must be a co-ordinated approach for testing and a common platform for recognizing the vaccinated status of travellers, Alghabra said. As we work to build back better, the establishment of a system that will protect our privacy and personal information, and that will be accessible, fair, and equitable is imperative, he continued in the statement. We must apply lessons learned from innovative technologies to identify long-term, sustainable solutions and expand upon them globally.
Alghabra said the transport ministers of G7 countries have a leading role to play in advancing a new global framework for international travel that will be key to safely resuming the free movement of both people and goods around the world.
