External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar arrived in New York on Sunday for a five-day visit to the US that will also include a visit to Washington.

Jaishankar’s first day of engagement was devoted to interactions at the UN where India is expected to provide revised timelines of vaccine delivery to poorer countries having defaulted on its original commitment.

In Washington, Jaishankar will be meeting State Department officials but will have to wait for US Secretary of State Tony Blinken to return from his trip to the Middle East. Blinken left for Jerusalem, Ramallah, Cairo and Amman on Monday.

As per the Ministry of External Affairs, most of the Minister’s focus will be on vaccines including two meetings with major vaccine manufacturers to sort out the wrinkles in vaccine exports to India.

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).
