INDIA AND USA RELATIONS

In June, both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden expressed their concerns about the Ukrainian conflict and acknowledged the devastating humanitarian consequences it has caused. They highlighted the significant and expanding impact of the war on the global economy, including food, fuel, energy security, and critical supply chains. They emphasized the need for greater efforts to alleviate the repercussions of the war, particularly in developing nations.

During the G7 summit in Hiroshima in May, Prime Minister Modi met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and assured him of India's support in resolving the dispute between Moscow and Kyiv. Furthermore, Prime Minister Modi has engaged in multiple discussions with both Russian President Vladimir Putin and President Zelenskyy, urging them to seek a diplomatic solution.

Overall, India's involvement in fostering peace in Ukraine has been recognized and appreciated by the United States, as well as its commitment to supporting a diplomatic resolution to the conflict.
