New Delhi/Islamabad, Feb 18 (IANS) In an unusual move, Pakistan on Thursday supported Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s five proposals on making South Asia a Covid-19 free region.
Official sources told IANS that at the health secretary-level SAARC virtual workshop held on the management of Covid-19, where Pakistan was invited, there was a complete consensus on Prime Minister Modi’s ideas.
In his address to the SAARC officials earlier on Thursday, Modi had made a strong pitch for regional cooperation in combating Covid-19. He had proposed the member countries to consider creating a special visa scheme for regional doctors and nurses so that they can travel quickly within the region during health emergencies on the request of the receiving countries.
