US hails India partnership as crucial for global recovery from Covid-19

The US on Wednesday hailed its partnership with India on protective equipment and medical supplies during the “desperate” early days of the Covid-19 pandemic as the “clearest example” of positive global collaboration rising from one of its “most important partnerships in the world”.

The current US outlook frames India as a crucial partner for bouncing back from the pandemic’s deadly blow.

“India has been an important partner for the United States since the early days of the pandemic when countries were desperate for factual information about the virus and searching for personal protective equipment and other medical supplies,” a senior US State Department Official said during a background briefing on the ‘US-India Comprehensive Global Strategic Partnership’.

“Looking forward to the next six months and beyond. We know that our continued close cooperation with India will be an important part of the global recovery from the pandemic,” the US official said.

The US-India “collaborative approach on therapeutics” is being underlined as an “excellent example” of positive global impact.
