Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla said that India has proposed a mutually acceptable Covid-19 vaccine certification framework to its partner countries.

India has proposed a mutually acceptable Covid-19 vaccine certification framework to its partner countries to ensure a simplified international travel regime and several of them have already agreed to it, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla said on Thursday.

The mechanism is based on reciprocal recognition of the integrity of the vaccine certification process by the partner countries and it will help in normalising international travel, he said at a media briefing.
