He also stressed the importance of cooperation between both universities in the field of public health and medical sciences, given that India has become one of the countries that manufactured Covid-19 vaccine, which paves the way for researchers and students at the Lebanese University to benefit from the scientific results reached at Delhi University in this regard.
The two parties discussed the possibility of India assisting the Lebanese University with the tools and equipment needed for distance education and learning, especially that India has a developed and advanced industry in electronics, in addition to launching an initiative to support joint scientific research funded by the Indian government.
