India wants ceasefire in West Asia, conflict disrupts shipping: Jaishankar
Hindustan TimesNEW DELHI: India wants a ceasefire in West Asia and a “cooling down” tensions in the region so that the country’s economic interests are not impacted in areas such as the transportation of goods through regional waters, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said on Thursday. Jaishankar said a ceasefire and a “move away from what it has been for the last one year” would be of very direct economic consequence to India The disruption of shipping in the Red Sea as a fallout of the Israel-Hamas conflict and its impact on trade with Europe is a “big concern” for India, he said while speaking at an event organised by the Associated Chambers of Commerce & Industry of India. “We want restraint, we want a cooling down, we want a ceasefire, and we want negotiations so that our economic interests are not threatened through shipping.” India has tried to do its share to ensure the security of merchant shipping since the start of the Israel-Hamas conflict in October last year, including the deployment of several warships in regional waters. Jaishankar emphasised that a ceasefire and a “move away from what it has been for the last one year” would be of very direct economic consequence to India.
