Mr. Doval also found an opportunity to let others know about how India is focused on infrastructure, connectivity and humanitarian assistance in Afghanistan. He also informed that following Taliban’s takeover, India has already provided 17,000 metric tonnes of wheat out of the total commitment of 50,0000 MT. 5,00,000 doses of covaxin and 13 tons of essential life-saving medicines as well as 60 million does of polio doses have also been provided.
