He applauded India for the supply of corona vaccines to countries around the world. The UN chief said, "I would like to say how much we count on India. I mean, India has one of the most advanced pharmaceutical industries. India played a very important role in the production of generics for use that was a very important element of democratisation of access to medicines all over the world." Guterres hopes that India will have all the instruments that are necessary to play a key role in making sure that a global vaccination campaign becomes possible. He thinks that the production capacity of India is one of the best assets the world has today, and I hope the world understands that it must be fully used.
