External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has inaugurated India’s first overseas Jan Aushadhi Kendra in Mauritius, testifying the “close” bilateral cooperation, especially in the key health sector.

Jaishankar was in Mauritius on a two-day visit from June 16 to 17, one of the first countries he visited in his current term as the External Affairs Minister. On Wednesday, he jointly inaugurated India’s first overseas Jan Aushadhi Kendra with Mauritian Prime Minister Pravind Kumar Jugnauth, “testifying to the close cooperation between our countries, especially in the important sector of health,” the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.

Jan Aushadhi Kendras have been set up to make affordable generic medicines available to all. Jaishankar called the Mediclinic the “newest expression of our friendship”.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
