India has an important role to play in any global initiative to combat corona, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bill Gates, the founder of the Bill Gates Foundation and Microsoft co-founder, both agree. Last Thursday, the two discussed the issue of corona through video conference.
The role of India in global coordination in all scientific studies to combat this epidemic is discussed. After the talks, Bill Gates said that India’s role in combating the epidemic is very important. He also praised India’s goodwill in preventing the epidemic. He was accompanied by his wife, Melinda Gates, during a discussion with Modi.
“Had an extensive interaction with Bill Gates. We discussed issues ranging from India’s efforts to fight Coronavirus, work of the Gates Foundation in battling COVID-19, role of technology, innovation and producing a vaccine to cure the pandemic.” Modi Twitted in his twitter account.
Thank you for the conversation and partnership, Narendra Modi. Combating the pandemic requires global collaboration. India’s role is key as the world works to minimize social and economic impact, and pave the way to vaccine, testing, and treatment access for all.” Bill Gates Replied on Modi’s post
The third phase of lockdown in India will end on May 18. In talks with the chief ministers, Prime Minister Modi has already indicated that the fourth round of lockdowns will take place in the states. Already, various proposals from the states have reached the Central government. It is expected that a limited public transport system including trains and planes will be introduced in the states very soon. Also, the ban will be relaxed to a large extent.
