The Government of United Kingdom (UK) is all set to provide two million doses of coronavirus vaccine to Nepal in upcoming months.
Ambassador of the UK to Nepal Nicola Pollitt informed that vaccines worth around £550 million would be provided to Nepal. "I am very happy and excited with the news," ambassador Pollitt tweeted.
