34 countries in queue to receive Covid vaccines: Jaishankar

NEW DELHI: The Covid-19 vaccine has become a new currency for international diplomacy, in which India seems to be having an upper hand over its competitor China. With an unmatched vaccine manufacturing power, India is giving away millions of doses to its neighbours, friendly and estranged alike. Recently, neighbours in South Asia like Nepal and Lanka have received the shots in plenty while 40 nations have been benefited by the goodwill gesture of India. India is in no mood to slow down and would be offering the doses to 34 more nations, Foreign Minister S Jaishankar said.
