World Economic Forum: More vaccines can be expected from India, says PM Modi at Davos Agenda Summit

New Delhi, Jan 28: Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressing the World Economic Forum's virtual Davos Agenda Summit on January 28.

While addressing the forum, Modi said,''We focussed at developing COVID-specific health infrastructure, today India is among those countries where the number of people infected is decreasing.''

''Amid apprehensions, I have come before you with a message of confidence, positivity, and hope for the world on the behalf on more than 1.3 billion Indians,'' Modi said at World Economic Forum's Davos Agenda.

The Prime Minister said,''It was a challenging phase when COVID19 hit India. There were experts who predicted that India will be worst hit by the pandemic. But with public participation India is now among those countries which saved maximum lives due to COVID19.''

''In just 12 days, India has vaccinated more than 2.3 million healthcare workers. In next some months, we will achieve our target of vaccinating 300 million elderly people and people with comorbidities,'' Modi said.

''Right now there are two made in India vaccines. World Economic Forum will be relieved to know that in the time to come many more vaccines will come from India,'' he also said.

The event runs throughout the week with daily themes on subjects like economic systems, responsible growth, cooperation and the harnessing of technologies in the 4th Industrial Revolution - a common theme at Davos events. The annual event in Davos typically draws thousands of elites to the Alpine snows to discuss ways of building a better future.

The Davos Dialogues agenda marks the launch of the World Economic Forum's great reset initiative in the post-COVID-19 world.
