印度寻求从埃及，阿联酋，乌兹别克斯坦和孟加拉国采购瑞德西韦

NEW DELHI: While US pharma giant Gilead Sciences has agreed to provide 450,000 vials of Remdesivir, the government is also looking to procure it from countries like Egypt, Uzbekistan, UAE and Bangladesh. Official sources said Indian missions in these countries are working to facilitate purchase of the Covid-19 drug which remains in high demand in India as the pandemic runs riot.

新德里：尽管美国制药巨头吉利德已同意向印度供应45万瓶瑞德西韦，印度政府也希望从埃及、乌兹别克斯坦、阿联酋和孟加拉国等国采购。官方消息人士称，印度驻这些国家的使团正在努力促成新冠药物的采购，由于疫情肆虐，印度对新冠药物的需求仍然很高。

Faced with an acute shortage of the antiviral drug, India had earlier this month waived import duty on import of Remdesivir and the raw materials used to manufacture it. Official sources here described as a diplomatic victory Remdesivir owner Gilead's decision to donate 450 vials of the drug and also provide raw materials for ram up local production.

面对这种抗病毒药物的严重短缺，印度本月早些时候免除了瑞德西韦及其制造原料的进口关税。官方消息称，瑞德西韦的所有者吉利德决定捐赠450瓶，并为当地生产提供原材料，这是一次外交胜利。

With the first US consignment of oxygen-related equipment likely to arrive in India on Friday, sources here also denied that India had not earlier asked the US for Covid-19 vaccines, AstraZeneca or any other available with the country.

随着美国的制氧设备将于周五抵达印度，印度消息人士也否认印度此前未向美国请求新冠疫苗、阿斯利康或其他任何美国可提供的物资。

A US official was quoted as saying this week that India hadn't asked for "ready-to-use" vaccines. Sources here said though that India's need for vaccine was at least twice conveyed to the US. To expedite its own vaccination programme, India is ho to get some of the 10 million doses of AstraZeneca which the US already has and another 50 million doses under production there. India also expects US to approve supply of filters required for manufacturing the Covishield vaccine.

本周有报道援引一位美国官员的话说，印度还没有请求“即用型”疫苗。消息人士称，印度至少两次向美国转达对疫苗的需求。为了加快自己的疫苗接种计划，印度希望获得美国已有的1000万剂阿斯利康的一部分，以及另外5000万剂正在生产的阿斯利康。印度还希望美国批准供应生产Covishield疫苗所需的过滤器。

Official sources also clarified that while India wasn't going to reject assistance in the form of grants, the government had not issued any appeal for international help. The main agenda, they said, was to procure from abroad specific equipment like oxygen generation plants and concentrators that can help ease the oxygen situation in the country and also medicines like Remdesivir. A list of such equipment has been provided to Indians missions for procurement. India normally accepts aid for projects from major development partners like Japan and US.

官方消息人士还澄清说，虽然印度不会拒绝赠款形式的援助，但政府没有发出任何国际援助呼吁。他们说，主要议程是从国外采购特定设备，如制氧设备，以帮助缓解氧气供应状况，以及像瑞德西韦这样的药物。已向印度驻外使团提供了这类设备的清单，供其采购。印度通常会接受日本和美国等主要发展伙伴的援助。

BE INDIAN

We are now begging in front of Bangladesh. I hope people this time will understand the true state of our country. Modi government is all talk and hype. Our government didn’t spend the time and resources to face the second wave. Rather Modi and team were taking victory laps and attending election rallies. Gross negligence from the part of central government.

我们现在在向孟加拉国乞讨。我希望这一次人们能了解国家的真实状况。莫迪政府只是说说而已。我们的政府没有用心准备物资来应对第二波疫情。相反，莫迪和他的团队在庆祝胜利，参加选举集会。印度中央政府严重失职。

Going ahead, government needs to look at customs duty more closely. Not just suspend it during a crisis but understand, in a globally connected world, high customs duty on inputs increases cost of goods in India.

接下来，政府需要密切关注关税。不仅要在危机期间暂停关税，而且要明白，在一个全球联系紧密的世界里，高关税会增加商品的成本。
