"India has always called for dialogue and diplomacy to find a solution to such disputes - PM Narendra Modi"

New Delhi, March 2

As the conflict in West Asia intenisfied on Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday reiterated that India has consistently advocated dialogue and diplomacy to resolve global conflicts, expressing concern over the ongoing situation.

Addressing a joint press meet with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, PM Modi said the current developments in West Asia are a matter of grave concern for New Delhi.

"India has always called for dialogue and diplomacy to find a solution to such disputes," he said, underlining New Delhi's longstanding position on peaceful resolution of conflicts.

The Prime Minister also highlighted shared global concerns over terrorism, extremism and radicalisation. "We share the same feelings on terrorism, extremism and radicalisation, as these are serious challenges not just for us but for the entire world," he said.

Emphasising the need for collective action, PM Modi noted that close cooperation among nations is essential to address such threats and ensure global peace and stability.

"It is important to have close cooperation to tackle such issues for world peace and stability," he added.

Reaffirming India's broader foreign policy stance, the Prime Minister said India has always been clear in advocating peace amid global tensions. "India's stance has always been clear on tensions across the world. India has consistently advocated for peace and stability, and when two democracies stand together, the call for peace becomes stronger," he said.

PM Modi also assured that the government is closely monitoring the situation and is in touch with countries in the region to safeguard Indian nationals. "We are working closely with every country to ensure the safety of all Indian nationals in the region," he said.

His remarks comes following US-Israel joint military strikes on Iran that led to the death of the country's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and his family on Sunday.

Following the strikes, Iran launched a wave of strikes, using drones and missiles targeting multiple arab countries in the region, as a retaliatory action by the Islamic Republic.

While I appreciate the call for peace, the situation on the ground is extremely volatile. I hope the government has concrete evacuation plans ready for the thousands of Indian students and workers in the Gulf region. Safety first.

This is the right approach. We have vital energy and economic interests in the region. Getting drawn into someone else's conflict serves no purpose for India. Our stance should be "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam" - the world is one family, and dialogue is the only way.

The point about terrorism and extremism is crucial. The instability in West Asia often fuels radical ideologies that can spill over. India's experience with cross-border terrorism makes our voice important in this global discussion.

Respectfully, while the statement is good, actions matter more. I hope this diplomatic position translates into real, proactive efforts to bring key players to the table. The world needs peacemakers, not just peace-talkers.

The economic implications are huge. Any major conflict there will shoot up oil prices and hurt the global economy, including India's growth. Stability in West Asia is directly linked to stability in our own markets and inflation.
