As a foreign minister, I'm pushing other countries particularly some big countries, saying - look, please keep the raw materials flowing for vaccines to be made in India. The fact is that there're global supply chains: EAM S Jaishankar on people questioning vaccine export (1/4) 
Can I go around the world & tell people - guys, keep your supply chains flowing towards me? I'm asking you for raw materials but I'm not going to give vaccines. Look at the vaccine itself. Today, your largest vaccine under production is an international product: EAM (2/4)
It's not that we aren't prioritizing our people. As things got tough, we spoke to world & said - we tried our best to live up to commitments but please understand that we have a very serious situation at home & most of countries understand that: EAM S Jaishankar (3/4)
If you ask why are you exporting (vaccines) at all, somebody will ask -- why am I exporting to India. That is so short-sighted. Only non-serious, irresponsible people can make that argument: EAM S Jaishankar on people questioning vaccine export (4/4)
