This is VOA news. Via remote, I'm Marissa Melton. U.S. Defense1 Secretary Lloyd Austin on Sunday made a surprise visit to Afghanistan. It's the first visit to Afghanistan since taking up his post as Washington considers whether to comply with the May the 1st deadline for pulling out all troops from the country under a year-old deal it signed with the Taliban. Austin held a meeting with President Ashraf Ghani after arriving in the Afghan capital Kabul from a trip to India. A Pentagon report quoted Austin as saying he visited Afghanistan to "listen and learn" and that he wanted to understand what Ghani's concerns were. An Afghan presidential statement said Ghani and Austin "expressed concern over the high-level of violence" and stressed the need to find a "just and lasting2" peace in Afghanistan. Austin declined to comment on whether the Taliban have met the necessary conditions for U.S. troops to withdraw from the country by a May deadline.

The world's largest vaccine7 producer, the Serum8 Institute of India, has told at least three countries that their COVID vaccine shipments will be delayed. The institute has informed Brazil, Morocco and Saudi Arabia that the cause of the delay is India's own overwhelming need for the vaccine. India is experiencing a surge of infections. It has the third-highest number of coronavirus cases recorded, with 11.6 million. Only the United States at 29.7 million cases and Brazil at 11.9 million cases have more. The institute has been criticized for selling or donating more vaccines9 than the number of inoculations that it provided to its own people. Meanwhile, Brazil is in talks with the United States to import excess doses of coronavirus vaccine, according to its Foreign Ministry10 on Saturday. The South American nation recorded 79,069 new cases in a 24-hour period, according to its Health Ministry. It has reported more than 2,400 COVID-19 deaths. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has signed three measures to speed the purchase of vaccines. Via remote, I'm Marissa Melton, VOA news.

世界上最大的疫苗生产商印度血清研究所已经告诉至少三个国家,他们的新冠疫苗将延迟发货。该研究所已通知巴西、摩洛哥和沙特阿拉伯,推迟的原因是印度自身对疫苗的巨大需求。印度目前感染人数激增。印度记录的新冠病例数位列第三,累计1160万例。美国有2970万例,巴西有1190万例。该研究所因出售或捐赠的疫苗数量超过其向本国人民提供的疫苗数量而受到批评。与此同时,巴西外交部周六称,巴西正在与美国谈判进口过量剂量的新冠疫苗。据南美国家卫生部统计,巴西在24小时内新增病例79069例。据报道,新冠死亡病例超过2400例。巴西总统博尔索纳罗签署了三项加快购买疫苗的措施。我是玛丽莎·梅尔顿,为您远程报道美国之音新闻。
