India To Supply Vaccines Over South Asian Countries With Free Shipment.

On Friday, India will supply vaccines in South Asian countries.

The First phase of vaccination has already started in the Country. On Friday, according to a report by a news agency Reuters, India will give millions of doses of COVID-19 vaccine to South Asian countries in the next few weeks. Which can end in drawing praise from its neighbours and pushing back against China's dominating presence within the region.

According to reports, India's homemade vaccines like AstraZeneca's vaccine manufactured by the Serum Institute of India will provide free shipping over many South Asian countries like  Maldives, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Nepal. Also, countries like Myanmar and Seychelles are the next in line to get the vaccines from India, the world's biggest producer of COVID-19 vaccines with free shipments.

In a conference, Nepal's Minister for Health and Population Hridayesh Tripathi aforementioned that "The government of India has shown goodwill by providing the vaccine within the grant. this is often at the people's level, it's the general public who are suffering the foremost from COVID-19."

This gesture of vaccine distribution over the South Asian countries will help in improving the bonds between the countries. Even, Nepal will focus to work on a healthy relationship after the territorial dispute and concern over China's expanding political and economic influence in Nepal. 

Bangladesh was supposed to get 110,000 doses of vaccine free from Chinese firm Sinovac Biotech, however, the country refused the proposal. Bangladesh now wants India for urgent supplies and is due to receive 2 million shots of the AstraZeneca vaccine as a gift from India today.
