Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his visit to kyiv, reiterated India’s stance that we are not in an era of war. Modi said today that India firmly believes that no problem can be solved on the battlefield and is ready to provide all possible cooperation to restore peace and stability in the region.
Following extensive talks with Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, PM Modi highlighted the strengthening of India-Poland relations, which have been upgraded to a strategic partnership. The talks also resulted in the finalisation of a social security agreement to facilitate mobility of skilled workers. Both leaders emphasised the importance of adhering to international law and reaffirmed that all nations must avoid the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity, sovereignty or political independence of any state, according to a joint statement.
Modi also said that the ongoing conflicts between Ukraine and Russia and West Asia, including Israel and Palestine, are a matter of “deep concern for all of us”. “This is India’s firm belief that no problem can be resolved on the battlefield. In any crisis, loss of lives of innocent people has become the biggest challenge for the entire humanity… We support dialogue and diplomacy for the early restoration of peace and stability. For this, India, along with its friendly countries, is ready to provide all possible support,” PM Modi said.
Following his visit to Warsaw, Prime Minister Modi is heading to Ukraine’s capital kyiv on a train under tight security. The journey is expected to take around ten hours. During his nearly seven-hour stay in Kiev on Friday, Modi will hold both individual and delegation-level talks with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and the talks are likely to focus on finding solutions to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
Modi’s visit to Ukraine comes six weeks after his trip to Moscow. India has yet to condemn Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and has called for resolving the conflict through dialogue and diplomacy.
