Modi engages Iranian president on safety of citizens and trade through Hormuz during escalating conflict.
In a significant diplomatic outreach, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke by phone with Iranian President Dr. Masoud Pezeshkian amid escalating conflicts in the Middle East.
Modi conveyed deep concern over the rising hostilities, emphasizing the tragic loss of civilian lives and the extensive damage to infrastructure.
He emphasized India’s key priorities: safeguarding its nationals in the region and ensuring uninterrupted flows of goods and energy supplies, which are crucial for regional and global stability.
Reaffirming India’s commitment to peaceful resolution, Prime Minister Modi called for de-escalation through dialogue and diplomacy.
The discussion comes at a critical juncture, as ongoing tensions threaten to disrupt international trade routes.
As a non‑aligned power, India seeks to balance relations with key stakeholders in the region, including Iran, while advocating for multilateral efforts to restore calm and reduce tensions through diplomacy and dialogue. India’s engagement with Tehran underscores New Delhi’s role in promoting regional peace and stability, even as concerns grow about the broader economic and security repercussions of the conflict.
