He said, "India supported the entire world as 'pharmacy of the world' in difficult time and sent medicines to several countries. T🅘ry to imagine the effect on the world of we would not have been able to take vaccination to every home in India. If affordable and effectice made-in-India vaccines were not produced at scale in India, what would be the condition of other countries?"
On co-operation with Denmark, Modi said, "Denmark was with India in the White Revolution. Now it's becoming a strong partner in our green future.
