Modi discusses fallout of pandemic with Ethiopian PM
NEW DELHI : Prime Minister Narendra Modi discussed the fallout of the novel coronavirus pandemic with his Ethiopian counterpart, Abiy Ahmed Ali, on Wednesday with both countries pledging to stand by each other in the crisis.
The phone call between the two leaders is part of India’s outreach towards the rest of the world against the backdrop of a view that current global order is ill equipped to deal with a crisis like the covid-19 pandemic.
Modi has spoken of the need to reform multilateral institutions in the past and this has now been reiterated in recent days including when Modi addressed a virtual meeting of Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) leaders on Monday.
