Following the telephonic conversation between US President Joe Biden and Prime Minister Narendra Modi the White House in a statement commended the PM for his “historic visit” to Poland and Ukraine.
“The President commended the Prime Minister for his historic visits to Poland and Ukraine, the first by an Indian Prime Minister in decades, and for his message of peace and ongoing humanitarian support for Ukraine, including its energy sector,” the statement by the White House read.
During their conversation about the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, the Prime Minister informed President Biden about his recent trip to the country. He reiterated India’s unwavering stance, which advocates for dialogue and diplomatic efforts to resolve the issue.
“While discussing the situation in Ukraine, the Prime Minister briefed President Biden on his recent visit to Ukraine. He reiterated India’s consistent position in favour of dialogue and diplomacy and expressed full support for early return of peace and stability,” the statement said.
White House National Security Communications Advisor John Kirby also welcomed PM Modi‘s visit to Ukraine, and said that the United States is open to any nation that is interested in assisting President Zelenskyy in his pursuit of a fair and just peace.
“Any country that’s willing to come at that discussion by starting with President Zelenskyy’s perspective, by hearing him out, by signing on to that proposal — and I won’t speak for India and what they’re signing on to or not; that’s for the Prime Minister and his team to talk to — but we certainly welcome any nation that is willing to be helpful and to start that conversation by ascribing to President Zelenskyy’s just peace proposal and getting his perspectives,” Kirby said.
Russia and Ukraine have been at war since 2022. Throughout this period, India has consistently advocated for a peaceful resolution to the war, emphasizing the importance of “peace and diplomacy” in finding a solution to the ongoing crisis between the two nations.
The discussion between the two leaders occurred shortly after Prime Minister Modi’s historic visit to Poland and Ukraine. On Friday last week, PM Modi became the first Indian Prime Minister to set foot in Ukraine, marking a significant milestone in the diplomatic relations between the two countries.
During his meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Prime Minister Modi reiterated India’s stance on the conflict, stressing the need for a peaceful resolution through open dialogue and diplomatic channels. “India was never neutral, we have always been on the side of peace,” PM Modi asserted to President Zelenskyy, underlining India’s unwavering commitment to promoting peace in the region.
