COVID-19 Diplomacy: India To Take At Least 60 Heads Of Foreign Missions To Facilities Of Vaccine Makers In Hyderabad

In a major boost to the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA)'s COVID-19 diplomacy, Ambassadors and envoys from a large set of nations are set to visit Hyderabad based biotech companies on coming 9 December as the Government looks to aid partnerships for manufacturing and delivery of vaccines, reports Times of India.

This gains significance as Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi has repeatedly emphasised that the nation's stellar vaccine production and delivery capacity will be used to help all of humanity to fight the pandemic.

It should be noted, given India's formidable position as the world's largest vaccine manufacturer, many nations, especially developing ones are looking for assistance from India to get the doses once they are available.
