Governments across the world as well as companies are increasingly joining efforts to come to India's aid as it struggles to deal with a surge in coronavirus infections.

On Tuesday, British Foreign Minister Dominic Raab posted on Twitter photos of the arrival of the first shipment in India. But he warned that no one is safe until all people are safe, and said "International collaboration is key to fighting this global threat."
The United States, France, Germany and Australia are among other countries offering aid to India.
Neighboring Pakistan has also announced plans to offer medical assistance. The help comes despite a decades-long conflict between the two rivals over the Kashmir region.

Japan's annual foreign policy report has for the first time clearly stated that intrusions by Chinese vessels into waters off the Senkaku Islands violate international law.
The Foreign Ministry presented its 2021 Diplomatic Bluebook at a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday. Chinese government ships have repeatedly entered Japanese territorial waters off the islands in the East China Sea.
Japan controls the islands. China and Taiwan claim them. The Japanese government maintains that the islands are an inherent part of Japan's territory, in terms of history and international law. It says there is no issue of sovereignty to be resolved over them.
The Bluebook continues to call the relations between Japan and China one of the "most important bilateral relationships."
But it says China's increased maritime activities and military buildup are strong concerns in the region and the international community. The wording is stronger than it was in last year's report, which described China's activities as "common concerns."
The Bluebook criticizes Beijing's new law, which allows its coast guard to use weapons. This report also refers to China's human rights record in Hong Kong and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region more than the previous one did.
South Korea is described as an important neighbor, as it was last year. But objections are raised in the report to a South Korean court ruling in January that ordered the Japanese government to compensate those referred to as wartime comfort women.
The report says the ruling will only exacerbate the serious strain on bilateral ties, and it urges Seoul to take the appropriate steps.
On North Korea, the Bluebook says Japan, the US and South Korea will cooperate to try to bring about the country's denuclearization. It also pledges that the utmost efforts will be made to quickly resolve the issue of the North's abductions of Japanese nationals.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry says the country has lodged a strong protest through diplomatic channels over Japan's latest foreign policy report.
Spokesperson Wang Wenbin said in a news conference on Tuesday that Japan's annual report exaggerates the threat posed by China and attacks and defames the country with malicious intent, as well as representing an attempt to interfere with China's internal affairs.
The report released earlier in the day clearly stated for the first time that intrusions by Chinese coast guard vessels in waters off the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture violate international law.
Wang said the islands are an inherent part of Chinese territory, and that the country is exercising its rights through law enforcement activities carried out by the coast guard.
Japan controls the islands. The Japanese government maintains the islands are an inherent part of Japan's territory. China and Taiwan claim them.
The report also refers to China's human rights record in Hong Kong and the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
Wang said these are domestic Chinese matters, and that the country won't allow interference by outside parties.
The spokesperson said China urges Japan to address its mistakes and take concrete actions to build solid relations with China.
