Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent discussions with leaders of Oman, Jordan, Malaysia, and France have sparked a response from the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), condemning the escalating attacks on energy installations in the West Asia region.
As tensions rise in the region, the Indian government has labeled the attacks on energy infrastructure as "deeply disturbing" and "unacceptable." This comes as Iran retaliates against Israeli strikes on key gas facilities, intensifying the conflict.
PM Modi's outreach to Oman holds significance, as the country could potentially serve as a mediator between Iran and the US. The MEA highlighted the need for dialogue and diplomacy to de-escalate the situation and restore peace and stability in the region.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's discussions with Israel's Foreign Minister and UAE's Minister of State emphasized the importance of addressing the conflict in West Asia and the repercussions of the ongoing violence.
PM Modi's conversations with leaders from Jordan, Malaysia, and France reiterated India's condemnation of attacks on energy infrastructure and the shared commitment to de-escalation through dialogue and diplomacy.
The MEA reassured that India remains in contact with concerned countries to address energy security needs and ensure uninterrupted transit of energy supplies. Additionally, the country has secured an adequate stock of fertilizers for the upcoming agricultural season.
Despite the challenges posed by the conflict, efforts are underway to facilitate the safe return of Indian nationals from the region and ensure the smooth operation of essential services.
