The US State Department has applauded India’s role in global health which also came in for substantial praise from Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro.

The South and Central Asia section of the US State Department called India a “true friend” for sharing millions of doses of Covid vaccine in South Asia.

“India is a true friend using its pharma to help the global community,” it said in a social media post. Referencing US President Joe Biden’s observation during his inaugural speech about the US being a strong and trusted partner for peace and security, it said this commitment was also for all US’ friends in South and Central Asia. Bolsonaro thanked India for supplying Covid vaccines to his country and shared on social media an illustration of Lord Hanuman bringing “Sanjivani booti” from India to Brazil. — TNS

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).
