Narendra Modi Prime Minister Narendra Modi reaffirms support for peaceful resolution of Ukraine conflict during meeting with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy
Indian PM Narendra Modi met President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in New York on Monday when he once again conveyed New Delhi's aim to provide all support to facilitate a lasting and peaceful resolution of the ongoing Ukraine conflict.
This was the first meeting between Modi and Zelenskyy since the Indian PM visited Ukraine recently.
Prime Minister Modi had visited Ukraine at the invitation of Zelenskyy last month.
"The two leaders recalled Prime Minister’s recent visit to Ukraine and expressed satisfaction at the continued consolidation of bilateral ties. The situation in Ukraine as well as the way forward on pursuing a path to peace also figured prominently in their discussions," read a statement issued by India's Ministry of External Affairs.
During the conversation, Prime Minister Modi reiterated India’s clear, consistent, and constructive approach to peacefully resolving the conflict through diplomacy, dialogue, and engagement between all stakeholders.
Modi's visit to Ukraine last month was the first by an Indian PM after the former Russian state became independent in 1991.
During his meeting with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, PM Modi said India never took a neutral stance in the ongoing conflict with Russia but was always on the side of peace.
"However, we want to say that India was never neutral in its stance and from the very first day we were on the side of peace," he said during his discussion with the President.
Narendra Modi on Monday reiterated his call for world peace and urged for reforms in top global institutions as he addressed the UN General Assembly.
"Reform is the key to relevance," PM Modi said speaking at the "Summit Of The Future" at the United Nations headquarters in New York.
"The success of humanity lies in our collective strength, not in the battlefield, and for world peace and development, reform is essential for global organisations," said the Indian PM.
During his US visit, he also attended the meeting with QUAD leaders.
