Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a virtual bilateral summit on Monday with his Danish counterpart Mette Frederiksen, said, “The coronavirus pandemic has shown the risk involved in excessive dependence of the global supply chain on any single source.” 

The PM added that India was working with Australia and Japan to diversify the supply chain, noting that like-minded countries are welcome to join the initiative.

The Prime Minister said the last few months have brought forth the need for countries believing in transparency, democratic value system and rules-based order to work together.
