“We have supplied medicines to 80 plus countries during this pandemic. We are a leader in healthcare, we are leader in the pharmaceuticals, in IT services and we are a model of vibrant and liberal democracy for the entire world. PM Modi has been championing the cause of climate change and environmental issues. I am sure India will have a great role to play in the new world order that will emerge post COVID-19,” he added.
“The complaint or the accusations against China are about its lethargy, it’s deliberate withholding the information about deadly nature of this virus and allowing this virus to cross its borders and creating an havoc. Definitely, fingers are being raised at China for this. The origin of this coronavirus is yet a subject of intense debate in the world as there is no proof or evidence to come to any conclusion at this juncture,” he said.
“As far as India is concerned, we have responded in a very timely manner. Even at a time when WHO was telling the world that there is no need to worry about COVID-19, India had formed a Group of Ministers and started screening at airports. India took the number of steps including lockdown to stop its spread,” he added.
