"As the largest vaccine producing country of the world... India's vaccine production and delivery capacity will be used to help all humanity in fighting this crisis," Modi said. On Friday, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison had insisted in his speech to the UN that any nation that develops a Covid-19 vaccine share it universally. But Modi reiterated India's calls for reform of the United Nations and for the world's second-most populous country to be given more influence in the global body. Where is the United Nations in this joint fight against the pandemic? India's 1.3 billion people "have been waiting for a long time for the process for the reforms of the United Nations to get completed," Modi said.
