    Australia, other nations extend support to India amid COVID-19 crisis

    Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Saturday expressed solidarity with the people of India as the country struggles to battle a massive surge in COVID-19 infections. Morrison said that he will keep working with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to fight the "global challenge." His assurance comes as India faces a shortage of medical supplies and an overburdened health infrastructure. Here are more details.

    'Australia stands with our friends in India'

    "Australia stands with our friends in India as it manages a difficult second COVID-19 wave. We know how strong and resilient the Indian nation is. @narendramodi and I will keep working in partnership on this global challenge," Morrison tweeted today.
