India emerged as education and healthcare hub for Global South: S Jaishankar
New Delhi: India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said India has also emerged as an education and healthcare hub for the Global South.
"Our capacity building programmes and First Responder activities in case of HADR situations are important examples of this approach too. The International Solar Alliance, the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure and now Mission LiFE, a worldwide programme to promote a climate-friendly lifestyle, these are all proof of the priority that we accord in our diplomacy," Jaishankar said during a special online session during the Voices of Global South Summit.
"During Covid, we walked the talk of international cooperation by providing vaccines to over a 100 partners and medicines to over 150 countries," he said.
He said: "Coming to innovation and technology, I assure you that India stands ready to share its experiences and expertise. In particular, we have deployed game changing digital public goods in universal identification, financial payments, direct benefit transfer, digital health, commerce, industry and logistics. They will be both affordable and accessible to the Global South"
He said India is keen to work on exchange of best practices between the countries.
