Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has engaged in high-level talks with both Ukrainian and Russian leaders, reflecting India\u2019s nuanced approach to the ongoing conflict between the two nations.<\/p>\n
In response to inquiries about PM Modi\u2019s recent visits, India\u2019s External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar addressed the media in Tokyo, underscoring the strategic nature of these engagements. Dr. Jaishankar stated, \u201cI can reasonably expect that there will be more contact between us and Ukraine and between us and Russia as well. Like any government, we make our positions known at the right time, through the right channel. There is really not more I can say.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prime Minister Modi\u2019s diplomatic efforts began with a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during the G7 summit in Italy earlier this year. This interaction, held on the summit\u2019s sidelines, emphasized India\u2019s support for dialogue and humanitarian considerations amidst the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
Following this, PM Modi visited Moscow a few weeks later for a comprehensive discussion with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Moscow visit focused on reinforcing the long-standing bilateral relationship between India and Russia, addressing strategic, economic, and defense cooperation areas.<\/p>\n
Dr. Jaishankar also highlighted ongoing diplomatic channels, noting, \u201cI am also in touch with my counterparts,\u201d indicating India\u2019s active role in maintaining open dialogue with both parties involved in the conflict.<\/p>\n
India\u2019s approach in 2024 demonstrates a commitment to balancing its historical ties with Russia while simultaneously engaging with Ukraine to support peace and stability.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
