Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday thanked HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, for joining hands with India in the battle against the Coronavirus pandemic.

“India is proud to partner with Bahrain in fighting Covid-19,” tweeted Narendra Modi.

Modi also said India will continue to strengthen its long-standing ties with the Kingdom.

Earlier, in a tweet, HRH Prime Salman had thanked Modi for delivering Made-in-India Covishield vaccine of the Oxford-AstraZeneca.

Prince Salman viewed the gift as “a sign of India’s global generosity and the strong partnership enjoyed” by the two nations.

Bahrain received a consignment of 10,800 ‘Made in India’ coronavirus vaccines on Thursday, which External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said,” is a testimony of long-standing fraternal ties between the two countries.”
