International Relationships between Countries During a Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected international relations between countries and caused diplomatic tensions around trade, transport of medicines, diagnostic tests and hospital equipment for coronavirus disease. Leaders of some countries have accused other countries for not containing the disease effectively, resulting in the uncontrolled spread of the virus. As the COVID-19 pandemic has affected the political systems of multiple countries, causing suspensions of legislative activities, isolation or deaths of multiple politicians, rescheduling of elections due to fears of spreading the virus, we have invited Mr. Theo Neilly, Bahamas Consul General to Washington D.C., to our podcast today.
