India is also sincerely fulfilling its global obligations.”
He went on to say that India is constantly working to help other countries across the globe and will continue to do the same.

Prime Minister Modi also said that those who are working tirelessly and selflessly for others in the difficult times are worthy of praise and salute.
“During this difficult time, there are people around us who are working 24 hours and sacrificing their own comforts to help others, maintain law and order, cure infected persons and maintain cleanliness. All such people deserve appreciation and honour.”
He emphasized that the country will be able to bring humanity out of this tough challenge and reduce problems of people with coordinated efforts.
