In today\u2019s episode we\u2019ll look at External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar\u2019s visit to the U.S. last week, a trip that was largely seen as a mission to secure various agreements relating to the supply vaccines or raw materials for vaccine production. Taking off from Dr. Jaishankar\u2019s visit, we\u2019ll also use the second part of the podcast to discuss some of the major diplomatic challenges that India now faces post the COVID-19 second wave. I\u2019m joined by The Hindu\u2019s national and diplomatic affairs editor\xa0Suhasini Haidar.
