In a bid to steer clear of Beijing-Taipei row, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government on Thursday said that India had supplied the Covid-19 vaccine doses to Paraguay following a request from the South American nation without any involvement of a ‘third party.
New Delhi subtly contradicted Taipei’s claim that it had persuaded India to provide vaccines to Paraguay after Beijing had sought South American nations to sever diplomatic relations with Taiwan if it wanted the shots from China.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar had a discussion with his counterpart in Paraguay, Eladio Loizaga Caballero, who requested him for supply of the Covid-19 vaccines. Jaishankar responded positively and a consignment of Covaxin, a Made-in-India vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, was sent to Asunción. “I would like to confirm that no third party was involved in this,” Arindam Bagchi, the spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs, said.
