NEW YORK (Reuters) – India on Wednesday offered a COVID-19 vaccine to all United Nations peacekeepers – nearly 95,000 troops in 12 missions around the world.
“Keeping in mind the U.N. Peacekeepers who operate in such difficult circumstances, we would like to announce today a gift of 200,000 doses for them,” India’s External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar told a U.N. Security Council meeting on the coronavirus pandemic and conflict zones.
