The day PM Modi secured a third term after the Lok Sabhal elections, President Zelensky had congratulated him and invited him to visit the war-torn country.
In a phone call with President Zelenskyy in March this year, PM Modi discussed ways to strengthen India-Ukraine partnership and reiterated the nation’s people-centric approach and calls for dialogue and diplomacy for the resolution of the ongoing conflict.
Ever since the war began India has maintained it can only be resolved through dialogue and diplomacy, and the Prime Minister has said “India is ready to contribute to any peace efforts”.
PM Modi had also travelled to Moscow earlier this month on a two-day visit.
PM Modi, during his meeting with President Putin, stressed no solution – to the violence – could be found on the battlefield. “India has always called for respecting the United Nations Charter, including territorial integrity and sovereignty.
