Biden Praises Modi for Promoting Peace and Supporting Ukraine Humanitarian Efforts

New Delhi: US President Joe Biden recently had a phone conversation with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during which he praised Modi for his strong “message of peace and ongoing humanitarian support” for Ukraine. This commendation came in the wake of Modi’s visit to Kyiv on August 23, which was widely regarded as a significant diplomatic move, especially following his earlier trip to Russia that had drawn criticism from the Biden administration and concern from other Western nations.

During his visit to Kyiv, Prime Minister Modi met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, where he emphasized the importance of dialogue between Ukraine and Russia to bring an end to the ongoing conflict. Modi expressed India’s willingness to play an “active role” in facilitating peace talks and helping restore stability in the region. His call for both sides to come together was viewed as a crucial step toward de-escalation and a reflection of India’s position as a potential mediator in the conflict.

Modi’s trip to Ukraine was seen by many as a diplomatic balancing act, aiming to maintain India’s long-standing relations with Russia while also responding to the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. The visit underscored India’s commitment to peace and its readiness to contribute to international efforts aimed at resolving the conflict.

President Biden’s recognition of Modi’s efforts highlights the importance of India’s role on the global stage and its potential influence in bringing about a peaceful resolution to the war in Ukraine. As the conflict continues, India’s diplomatic engagement and humanitarian support are likely to remain critical components in the broader international response.
