External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar recalled how India emerged as the 'Pharmacy of the World' during the Covid-19 pandemic
Affirming that India has walked the talk when it comes to raising issues of the Global South, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar today said the world today was simultaneously witnessing experimentation, scaling up, deployment, innovation, and breakthroughs in the country.
Recalling how India emerged as the 'Pharmacy of the World' during the Covid-19 pandemic, through the export of 'Made in India' vaccines to over 100 countries, the minister said New Delhi was also the first to respond during times of distress and upheaval in Myanmar and Turkey.
Addressing the B20 summit in the national capital, Dr Jaishankar said, "Today's India is the one, where the world simultaneously witnesses experimentation, scaling up, deployment, innovation, and breakthroughs. I stress these developments not only because they solve one-sixth of the world's problems by themselves, but because they provide replicable models for the rest of the Global South."
