Expressing optimism, India's permanent representative to the United Nations (UN) Ruchira Kamboj has said that India is ready to take its place at the global top table as a country that is willing to bring solutions and contribute positively to the global agenda. She also noted that in the last two years, as the world went through various crises, India has always been there as a solution provider.
Referring to the COVID-19 pandemic, Kamboj said that India supplied medicines, medical equipment, as well as sent medical teams to countries in need and supplied 240 million doses of vaccines to over 100 countries. In the last four months alone, the country has supplied 1.4 million tons of humanitarian assistance to countries in need including Afghanistan, Myanmar, Sudan, Yemen, Sri Lanka and Ukraine.
Besides, Ruchira Kamboj underlined that India will work very constructively in the course of the current session of the General Assembly to move the process forward, working off a negotiating text and in full collaboration and cooperation with all UN member states.
