Upholding its foreign policy of "Neighborhood First," India reaffirmed its commitment to providing food support to Myanmar, Afghanistan, and Sri Lanka. During the United Nations Security Council open debate on famine and conflict-induced global food insecurity, Indian ambassador Ruchira Kamboj emphasized India's proactive approach in assisting its partners during times of distress.
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, India extended significant food aid, including thousands of metric tonnes of wheat, rice, pulses, and lentils to various countries, particularly in Africa, to bolster food security.
In light of Afghanistan's deteriorating humanitarian situation, New Delhi initiated the donation of 50,000 metric tonnes of wheat to the war-torn nation. Additionally, India continues to provide humanitarian support to Myanmar, including a grant of 10,000 tonnes of rice and wheat. Sri Lanka has also received assistance from India in its food security efforts.
