Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on Friday thanked India for supplying the coronavirus vaccine to his country. India has begun commercial exports of Covid-19 vaccines and sent 20 lakh doses each to Brazil and Morocco.
“Brazil feels honoured to have a great partner to overcome a global obstacle by joining efforts,” Bolsonaro tweeted. “Thank you for assisting us with the vaccines exports from India to Brazil.” The president also shared the same message in Portuguese along with an image depicting Hindu deity Hanuman carrying “Sanjeevani booti” from India to Brazil.
