Austin will be traveling from Rome, where he will attend the “Rome” meeting, addressing recent medical interventions and the fight against the pandemic, based on principles of democracy, sovereignty, and international law. Singh emphasized that this meeting aims to implement necessary changes in response to current events, particularly concerning Russia’s provocations against Ukraine.
