India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi took to the Twitter on Monday to express his gratitude to the European Union for its support to India on its fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
Modi affirmed that he had spoken to President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen to "thank EU for support and assistance to India's COVID response."

In the same vein, the Indian Ministry of Health announced on Monday that the number of Coronavirus cases recorded in the country has reached nearly 20 million, after reporting more than 300,000 new cases for the twelfth consecutive day.
The oxygen shortages in hospitals exacerbated a devastating second wave and much-needed foreign assistance continued to pour in.
On a separate note, India and European Union are all set to seal a connectivity agreement at the May 8 virtual summit at Lisbon apart from reviving the negotiations on the stalled trade and investment agreement.
The Prime Minister asserted that he is keen to deepen cooperation at the summit with Von der Leyen, and President of European Council Charles Michel to open a new chapter in relations with both the power blocks slated to create assets in third countries, particularly in the Indo-Pacific.
