*Canadian PM Trudeau thanked PM Modi *
As Canada received the first consignment of 500,000 AstraZeneca’s “Made-in-India” CoviShield vaccines on March 4, it thanked India for sending vaccines on time.
Earlier this month, PM Modi spoke to his Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau and assured him that India will do its best to support Canada’s Covid-19 vaccination efforts.
Expressing his appreciation, the Canadian Prime Minister said that if the world managed to conquer COVID-19, “it would be significantly because of India’s tremendous pharmaceutical capacity, and Prime Minister Modi’s leadership in sharing this capacity with the world”.
Till date, India has supplied Made-in-India Covid-19 vaccines for more than 50 countries in the world, with some of them receiving on purely humanitarian grounds and no costs included.
