Diplomats from India and South Africa are working together to convince American lawmakers and policymakers on the need to support their proposal before the WTO to temporary waive some of the Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) during the COVID-19 emergency.
Running against time, because of the gravity of the situation in various countries across the world, including India, the diplomats from the two countries have been making daily rounds of the US Capitol and the corridors of power in Washington DC, mostly virtually, underscoring the point that this is one of the key elements of saving lives.

WASHINGTON, Apr 12: India, which sends the largest number of STEM students to the United States, is making a sustained outreach with American universities to build knowledge partnerships.
As part of this effort to build knowledge partnerships, India’s ambassador to the US Taranjt Singh Sandhu has intensified interactions with US universities.
“With over 200,000 Indian students in the US, and most of them in the STEM areas, collaboration in higher education, is an area of exciting possibilities. There are opportunities for student exchanges; online education; university-to-university collaborations. We hope that with its strong focus on India, UNC will take the lead in this area,” said Sandhu in his address to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill during one such interaction.
