“India shall do everything possible to help humanity’s fight against Covid-19,” Modi tweeted.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said India will do everything possible to help humanity's fight against Covid-19, responding to U.S. President Donald Trump thanking him for allowing the export of anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine.
HCQ is deemed as a potential preventive drug for the deadly coronavirus.
"We shall win this together," Modi said, responding to a tweet by President Trump.
"Fully agree with you President @realDonaldTrump. Times like these bring friends closer," he said, adding that the India-US partnership is "stronger than ever".
"India shall do everything possible to help humanity's fight against COVID-19," the prime minster also said.
Earlier, in a tweet, President Trump had thanked India and the Indian people for the decision on HCQ, saying it would not be forgotten.
"Thank you Prime Minister @NarendraModi for your strong leadership in helping not just India, but humanity, in this fight," he had said.
