Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday asserted that dialogue and diplomacy are the only way to resolve the Ukraine conflict as the current situation is an issue of humanity and human values, not about politics or economy. He made these remarks while addressing the G7 summit in Hiroshima.
He said all countries must respect the UN Charter, international law, and the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations and called for raising voices together against unilateral attempts to change the status quo, according to the news agency PTI.
The prime minister’s comments came against the backdrop of the lingering border row with China in eastern Ladakh and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. H invoked Buddha and said there is no such problem in the modern age, whose solution cannot be found in his teachings.
He even referred to his talks on Saturday with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
“Today we heard from President Zelensky. I also met him yesterday. I do not consider the current situation as an issue of politics or economy. I believe it is an issue of humanity, an issue of human values,” PM Modi said.
“We have said from the beginning, that dialogue and diplomacy is the only way. And to solve this situation, we will try as much as possible, whatever can be done from India,” he stated.
The Prime Minister said India has always been of the opinion that any tension and any dispute should be resolved peacefully through dialogue, PTI reported.
According to PM Modi, the maximum and most profound effects of the food, fuel, and fertilizer crisis are being felt by developing countries in the current global economic situation.
“Global peace, stability and prosperity is a common objective of all of us. In today’s interconnected world, tension in any one region affects all countries. And, developing countries, which have limited resources, are affected the most,” he added.
