India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar revealed that the country is actively engaging with both Russia and Ukraine, striving to mediate a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict. Speaking at an international forum, Jaishankar emphasized India's commitment to diplomacy and dialogue, highlighting the nation’s unique position as a neutral actor in the war.
India has maintained a delicate balance since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, avoiding direct involvement or taking sides while advocating for peace and negotiations. The External Affairs Minister pointed out that India's diplomatic outreach to both Moscow and Kyiv focuses on de-escalation, humanitarian aid, and fostering conditions conducive to a peaceful settlement.
This initiative comes amidst growing international calls for an end to the conflict, which has had far-reaching consequences on global energy supplies, food security, and geopolitical alliances. India’s ongoing dialogue with both nations is seen as part of its broader foreign policy strategy to enhance its role on the global stage as a mediator and advocate for peaceful resolutions to conflicts. As the war continues to impact global markets, India's efforts to bring both parties to the negotiating table are being closely watched by the international community.
