India’s help to countries with vaccines praiseworthy
18 Feb 2021 India has also given doses to Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Maldives. India’s gesture to offer COVID-19 vaccines to all United Nations peacekeepers – nearly 95,000 troops in 12 missions around the world – is noteworthy.
“Keeping in mind the UN peacekeepers who operate in such difficult circumstances, we would like to announce today a gift of 200,000 doses for them,” India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar told a UN Security Council meeting on the coronavirus pandemic and conflict zones.
It’s just not the UN personnel who have been provided help to fortify their immunity against the virus. India has also given doses to Myanmar, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Maldives to help them get started with frontline workers as part of its Vaccine Friendship initiative.
