All eyes on Foreign Minister Gyawali’s Delhi visit for Nepal to procure Covid-19 vaccines

Government has placed all bets on vaccines being manufactured in India because of logistical issues but experts warn that other avenues must also be explored.

With the coronavirus vaccine becoming a “political commodity”, to use the words of a minister, the government is hoping that there will be a breakthrough in talks with India for Nepal to procure vaccines before Foreign Minister Pradeep Gyawali’s Delhi visit later this week.
