NEW DELHI, Oct 25 – Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday reiterated India’s commitment to resolve the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict.
“The ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia are a matter of concern for both of us. India has always believed that problems cannot be solved by war and India is ready to make every possible contribution for the restoration of peace,” the prime minister said after meeting German chancellor Olaf Scholz in New Delhi.
“The growing cooperation in the defence and security sectors is a symbol of our deep mutual trust. The agreement on the exchange of classified information is a new step in this direction. The Mutual Legal, Assistant Treaty concluded today will strengthen our joint efforts to deal with terrorism and separatist elements,” the prime minister added.
Scholz is leading a high-level delegation to New Delhi, betting that greater access to the vast Indian market can reduce Germany’s reliance on China.
