Jaishankar-Baerbock talks: India buys one-sixth of Europe’s consumption of Russian oil, says Jaishankar defending India policy

The Hindu  

India’s consumption of Russian oil was just one-sixth of European consumption and should not be compared unfavourably, said External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar, defending the government’s decision to increase its intake of Russian oil since the war in Ukraine, that was discussed in his talks with visiting German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock on Monday. “In the months following the Ukraine war, European countries have imported more Russian fossil fuel than the next ten countries combined,” said Mr. Jaishankar, when asked by a German journalist if India would consider decreasing oil imports, especially as it assumes the G20 presidency. “We engage Pakistan on bilateral issues, but the challenge is today that we cannot have talks while there is terrorism, and I think there was some understanding from the German side on this.” Ms. Baerbock had earlier clarified her remarks calling for a United Nations role in Jammu Kashmir, human rights concerns and in mediating between India and Pakistan, telling The Hindu in an interview that Germany believes India and Pakistan must resolve their issues bilaterally. “We are connected to India in a partnership of people to people ties and values – as the biggest democracy, India is exemplary and a role model for other countries,” she added in response to a question comparing German ties with China and India, particularly given German Chancellor’s visit to Beijing to meet Chinese President Xi Jinping last month.
