Piyush Goyal also said that India is one of the shining examples of both vaccinating her own population as well as providing vaccines to the rest of the world.
Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Monday said India plans to produce 5 billion doses of COVID vaccines next year and keep contributing to make the world a safer place to live in.
India, the world's largest producer of vaccines, has resumed the supply of COVID vaccines to other countries. It had suspended export of the COVID vaccines in April this year to focus on inoculating its own population following a sudden spike in coronavirus infections.
Speaking at the CII Partnership Summit 2021, Mr Goyal said India is one of the shining examples of both vaccinating her own population as well as providing vaccines to the rest of the world.
"We have been exporting in the past, we continue to export and we have offered to all the countries in the world that we will be willing to supply as many vaccines as other countries would require to ensure equitable availability at affordable prices for vaccines for all the countries in the world," he said.
