According to the External Affairs Minister, the international solar alliance, the coalition for disaster resilient infrastructure, and now mission life, a global campaign to promote a climate-friendly lifestyle, are all evidence of our priority.
We engaged in international cooperation during Covid by supplying vaccinations to over 100 partners and medicines to over 150 countries, according to Jaishankar.
"India is ready to contribute its experiences and skills, including our game-changing digital public goods in universal identification, financial payments, direct benefit transfer, digital health, commerce, industry, and logistics," the Minister added.
