President of the European Council Charles Michel on Wednesday pledged cooperation with India over fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, ahead of an India-European Union summit in May.
"Both India and Europe are major producers of vaccines," Michel said at the Indian multilateral conference Raisina Dialogue.
"We all know that ramping up the production of vaccines is an enormous challenge. We all need each other: for components, equipment, and fill and finish vials, for instance," he added.
The EU & India are key partners in the Indo-Pacific region. Bound by democratic values, we can do much more together.
