New Delhi, July 4

PM Narendra Modi will address a CoWIN Global Conclave on Monday as a step to share the open-source platform to help other countries organise their vaccination drive in a better way.

Sources said around 50 countries are expected to seek information on its use as a digital public platform. The countries that have shown interest include Canada, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Nigeria, Uganda, Vietnam, Iraq, the UAE, Dominican Republic and others.

During a recent UNSC debate on cyber security, Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla had said that India was working on sharing the platform with partner countries. — 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).
