The Union ministry of health and family welfare said earlier in November that nearly 100 countries have agreed to the mutual acceptance of vaccination certificates of India's Covid-19 vaccines and the vaccination process.
Union health minister Mansukh Mandaviya said the Centre is in communication with the rest of the world so that beneficiaries of the world's largest Covid-19 vaccination program are accepted and recognised to ease travel for education, business and tourism purposes.

Meanwhile, the Centre has also said that international flight operations are expected to return to normal soon.
Scheduled international flights were suspended in India since March 23, 2020, after a nationwide lockdown was announced by the Centre in view of the coronavirus pandemic.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on October 29 this year extended the ban on scheduled international commercial passenger flights to and from India until November 30.
