In a series of tweets on Friday, Modi said: “I would like to propose that the leadership of SAARC nations chalk out a strong strategy to fight coronavirus.

“We could discuss, via video-conferencing, ways to keep our citizens healthy. Together, we can set an example to the world, and contribute to a healthier planet.”

Responding to the proposal, Aisha Farooqui, the spokesperson for the Pakistan Foreign Office, acknowledged that the threat of COVID-19 required coordinated efforts at global and regional level, The Express Tribune reported.

“We have communicated that SAPM on Health (Zafar Mirza will be available to participate in the video-conference of SAARC member countries on the issue,” she said in a tweet on Saturday morning.
