Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a conversation with French President Emmanuel Macron concerning the situation in West Asia and the critical need for de-escalation and a return to dialogue and diplomacy. The ongoing conflict in West Asia, triggered by US-Israeli strikes on Iran, resulting in the deaths of Iran’s Supreme Leader and top military officials, has prompted these discussions. PM Modi has also engaged with leaders from Kuwait, UAE, Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Bahrain, Oman, and Qatar to address the escalating tensions in the region.
PM Modi recently spoke with Kuwait’s Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah, expressing concerns over the evolving situation in West Asia and condemning attacks on Kuwait’s sovereignty. The Prime Minister emphasized the importance of safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and appreciated Kuwait’s support in ensuring the well-being of the Indian community in Kuwait.
In another interaction, PM Modi communicated with UAE President Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, discussing the current state of affairs in West Asia. He reiterated India’s strong condemnation of attacks on the UAE and emphasized the need for safe navigation through the Strait of Hormuz to restore peace, security, and stability in the region.
