Dominica is set to award Prime Minister Narendra Modi with its highest national honor, the “Order of the Nation,” in recognition of his support during the COVID-19 pandemic. The honor acknowledges Modi’s contribution in sending 70,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine to Dominica in February, which provided crucial aid as the country battled the pandemic.
This gesture was part of India’s “Vaccine Maitri” initiative, aimed at supporting countries in need with vaccine supplies. The award highlights Modi’s commitment to global health and his efforts to foster diplomatic relations between India and the Caribbean region. The ceremony, anticipated soon, underscores Dominica’s appreciation for India’s assistance, marking a strong moment in India-Caribbean ties and showcasing international solidarity in health crises.
