PM Modi speaks to Vladimir Putin; underlines importance of dialogue, diplomacy
Prime Minister Narendra Modi dialled Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday and emphasised the importance of dialogue and diplomacy and “sincere and practical engagement” with all stakeholders to find a peaceful solution to the conflict with Ukraine. The conversations follow Modi’s visit to Ukraine on August 23, when he urged President Volodymyr Zelensky to hold talks with Russia to help end the conflict. Modi added in a post on X: “Reiterated India’s firm commitment to support an early, abiding and peaceful resolution of the conflict.” A statement from the Kremlin said Putin “shared his principled assessment of the destructive policies of the Kiev authorities and their Western patrons”, and highlighted Russia’s “approaches to resolving this conflict”. The Kremlin’s statement said the two leaders also discussed practical steps to implement trade and economic agreements finalised during Modi’s recent visit to Russia.
