GUWAHATI, Nov 14: The Commonwealth of Dominica will confer its highest national award, the Dominica Award of Honour, to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his contributions to Dominica during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Caribbean nation also recognised Prime Minister Modi’s commitment to strengthening ties between the two nations.
India had in February 2021 supplied 70,000 doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine to Dominica, enabling the nation in its fight against the virus besides also extending a helping hand to its Caribbean neighbours.
The award will be presented to PM Modi by President Sylvanie Burton during the India-CARICOM Summit to be held in Guyana from Nov 19-21.
