Covid-19: Modi, Trump share bonhomie as India allows hydroxychloroquine exports
NEW DELHI: Prime minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said the India-US partnership was stronger than ever and that India would do whatever it can to help countries in their fight against covid-19.
This comes against the backdrop of many nations — almost thirty including the US — approaching India for release of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), seen as a key medication for treating covid-19.
Responding to US President Donald Trump's post on Twitter, where he had thanked India for lifting curbs on export of HCQ, Modi said, "Fully agree with you President @realDonaldTrump.
Times like these bring friends closer. The India-US partnership is stronger than ever." "India shall do everything possible to help humanity's fight against COVID-19.
