CEO's meeting with a Mexican delegation --- Important new issues such as health cooperation could be discussed. On April 13, 2021, the Undersecretary for Multilateral Affairs and Human Rights of Mexico visited the United Arab Emirates accompanied by the Ambassador of Mexico to the UAE and officials of the MFA's General Directorate of Global Economic Impulse to hold a meeting with Mr. Ashish Koshy, CEO of Group 42 Healthcare. Relevant issues of cooperation in the framework of the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular, the Sinopharm vaccine manufactured in the United Arab Emirates were discussed, but also, how the company was conducting clinical trials with the vaccine as well as the plans and perspectives about sales and distribution to other countries outside the Middle East. Should we consider this a new health diplomacy?
