neighbourhood first policy and Indo-Pacific vision, the special flight also evacuated five foreign nationals -- two Sri Lankans, one Nepalese, one South African and one Peruvian,” the External Affairs Ministry said. Three Indian crew members didn’t board the Air India flight as they conveyed their wish to continue
their stay on-board the cruise ship to complete the period of extended quarantine put in place by the Japanese government. Out of the total 138 Indian nationals originally onboard Diamond Princess, 16 Indian crew members have tested positive for coronavirus and are receiving medical care at an onshore
medical facility in Japan. All the evacuees will undergo a 14-day quarantine at the facility set up by the Indian Army in Manesar. India sent the C-17 Globemaster to Wuhan on Wednesday and it carried 15 tonnes of medical supplies for coronavirus-affected people in China. On its retur n, the
aircraft brought back 112 people including 23 citizens from Bangladesh, six from China, two each from Myanmar and the Maldives and one each from South Africa, the US and Madagascar. Earlier, India had evacuated around 650 Indians from Wuhan in two Air India flights. “In all 723 Indian nationals and 43 foreign nationals have been evacuated from Wuhan, China in these three flights,” the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said. On the medical supplies delivered by India to China, the MEA said they will help augment the country’s efforts to control the coronavirus outbreak which has been declared as a public health emergency by the World Health Organisation. “The assistance is also a mark of friendship and solidarity from the people of India towards the people of China as the two countries also celebrate 70th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations this year,” it said.
BENGALURU, FEB 27 (PTI): Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday projected that the annual Indian defence exports will touch Rs 35,000 crore by 2024 from the current level of Rs 17,000 crore. Singh also said he has no doubt about India emerging as among the three major economies of the world by 2030 andthe defence industries will have an important role to play. “India’s defence export is growing. In the last two years our export has been Rs 17,000 crore but keeping in view your (Hindustan Aeronautics Limited) capacity in the successive years, I can say that by 2024 Rs 35,000 crore. I am confident about it,” the Defence minister said at the Karnataka ‘Rajyotsava’ event organised at the HAL here. The minister told the gathering that India cannotremain dependent on imports for long and the Indian companies,especially defence public sector units, will have to play amajor
Rajnath Singh pro-active role in achieving the goal of ‘Make In India’as envisaged by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “We don’t want to see India as an importing nation. Instead, based on your strength, I can say that India is sure to become an exporting nation. Nobody can stop her,” Singh said. In this regard, he hailed the HAL for being among those Defence public sector units, whose performance in operations and finances was excellent. “By March 2019, the company’s turnover was Rs 19,705 crore and the HAL
gave shareholders 198 per cent healthy dividend,” he said. Singh was all praise for Kambala runner Srinivas Gowda who shot into the limelight covering 100 metres in 9.55 seconds at a traditional sporting event held at Aikala near Moodbidri in Karnataka recently. Kambala is an annual race where people sprint 142m through paddy fields with buffalo. He said there are many talents hidden in India who need to be brought out and HAL has a role in discovering them and providing them a platform to grow and prosper. The minister also recalled the iconic personalities born in Karnataka right from Hindustani classical singers Gangubai Hangal, Bhimsen Joshi, 12th century social reformer Basaveshwara and Field Marshal K M Cariappa. The atmosphere in Karnataka is conducive for science and technology, which provided base for HAL to have its headquarters here in Bengaluru, he noted.
