India has reaffirmed its commitment to seeking a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has stated that India would support any feasible solution that could bring peace to the region.
During a press briefing on Friday, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal emphasized that the decision to initiate peace talks lies solely with Russia and Ukraine. However, India, as a friend and partner to both nations, expressed its willingness to support any mutually acceptable solution that could pave the way for peace.
Jaiswal stated, “The decision as to when and how to commence peace talks is the prerogative of the two parties to the conflict. As friends and partners, we would support any feasible and mutually acceptable solution or format that could restore peace.”
This statement reflects India’s consistent position on the Russia-Ukraine conflict, advocating for diplomacy and peaceful dialogue as the path towards resolving the crisis. India has maintained a neutral stance throughout the conflict, refraining from explicitly condemning Russia’s actions while also expressing concerns about the humanitarian impact of the war.
The MEA’s statement highlights India’s continued efforts to support peace initiatives and engage in diplomatic efforts to find a resolution to the conflict. It also underscores the importance of mutual understanding and cooperation between all parties involved in achieving a lasting peace in the region.
