India has thanked Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Cooperation Council member states for supplying liquid medical oxygen in the fight against the coronavirus crisis.

India has seen a serious surge in COVID-19 cases in the past few weeks that has resulted in a shortage of medical equipment

Saudi Arabia, amongst other countries, has been sending help as the country’s local healthcare structures near collapse.

In a series of tweets on Friday, India’s Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan also welcomed offers made by Saudi Arabia, and others to supply containers for the next six months and for an assurance of a steady commercial supply of medical oxygen to India.
