The head of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s commitment and solidarity in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic that so far has infected more than 32 million people in the world. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said that the pandemic can only be defeated by mobilizing resources for the common good.
Thank you for your commitment to solidarity, Prime Minister @narendramodi. Only together, by mobilizing our forces and resources together for the common good, can we end the COVID-19 pandemic, “the WHO chief said in a tweet.
In his address to the 75th session of the UN General Assembly on Saturday, Prime Minister Modi said that “as the largest vaccine producing country in the world, I want to give one more assurance to the global community today. India’s vaccine production and distribution capacity will be used to help all of humanity fight this crisis. “
He said that even during these very difficult times of the terrible pandemic, India’s pharmaceutical industry has shipped essential medicines to more than 150 countries.
However, he questioned the United Nations response in the fight against the pandemic that has so far infected more than 32 million people in the world and will soon reach the grim milestone of one million deaths.
“For the past 8 to 9 months, the whole world has been fighting the coronavirus pandemic. Where is the United Nations in this joint fight against the pandemic? Where is your effective response? “Modi said.
