India responded promptly to our requests during the Covid pandemic! – Dr Vince Henderson Foreign Minister of Dominica

“I think the lesson that moves me the most is the Covid-19 pandemic. I had the opportunity to sit in a very important capital of the world. I will not call names, but I remember struggling with seeing how we could get an immediate, urgent response by having access to vaccines…. Before we knew it, India was able to respond and provide us with vaccines in Dominica as well as other member states in the Caribbean and the rest of the world. I personally want to thank you, the people and the government of India for reaching out to us at a time of such need”.

India did not forget the other nations of the world in its march for economic progress – Manish Gobin Minister for Agro-Industry and Food Security Mauritius

In 1990 India decided to become a free economy. Because of this, it has reached great heights economically. While making economic progress India did not forget other countries. Maneesh Gobin, Mauritius Minister of Foreign Affairs, Regional Integration and International Trade, said, “Throughout the G20, I should say whereby the global south has been given a prominent voice,” he said and welcomed the inclusion of the African Union as a permanent member of G20 “which reinforces the legitimacy of the G20.”

India is trying to get the economically poor and developing nations of the south together as the ‘Global South’ on the world’s decision-making platform. Bringing Mauritius on the G-20 stage is an example of this mindset, Gobin said adding that Mauritius was “very honoured” to be invited as a guest country at the G20.
