"In phone call with PM @NarendraModi, Prez @EmmanuelMacron highlighted that France would continue to stand by India to fight the pandemic together, with more support underway. The two leaders discussed how to bolster multilateral action against the virus," tweeted Emmanuel Lenain, Ambassador of France to India.

President Macron reiterated the importance of ACT-A, including the COVAX facility, to strengthen the multilateral approach to the production, sale and donation of vaccines, read the statement. Since April 2020, the ACT-Accelerator partnership, launched by WHO and partners, has supported the fastest, most coordinated, and successful global effort in history to develop tools to fight the disease.
