Waiving IP rights will ensure timely availability of COVID vaccines: India at UNSC
India has worked with South Africa and other partners in the WTO to seek relaxation in the norms of the TRIPS agreement, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla said on Friday and noted that this waiver will be an important step for enabling the rapid scaling up of manufacture and timely availability of affordable COVID-19 vaccines and essential medical products on a global basis.
"India has also worked with South Africa and other partners in WTO to seek relaxation in norms of TRIPS agreement to ensure quick and affordable access to vaccines and medicines for developing countries during the COVID pandemic," said Foreign Secretary Shringla at UNSC high-level meeting.
In a powerful address at the 79th United Nations General Assembly, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov voiced Russia's strong support for India and Brazil's bid for permanent seats on the UN Security Council. He emphasized the need for a "fairer world order" that includes greater representation for the Global South, while criticizing the West for its overrepresentation and use of sanctions as a weapon. As India’s quest for a permanent seat gains international momentum, Lavrov’s remarks could signal a pivotal shift in global diplomacy. Join us as we explore the implications of this support and what it means for the future of international relations!

In a fiery exchange reflecting the deepening rift between Kyiv and Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov labelled Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's recent remarks as “delusional.” This statement came in response to Zelensky's assertion during his address to the UN Security Council that Moscow could be forced into peace on Ukraine’s terms. Peskov vehemently rejected this notion, warning that attempting to coerce Russia into peace is a "fatal mistake" that will have serious repercussions for Ukraine.
