Interesting to see UAE taking diplomatic initiative in Middle East tensions. As an Indian, I hope our External Affairs Minister is also engaging with all stakeholders. Regional stability affects our energy security and diaspora. 🙏

The Middle East situation is worrying. With so many Indians working in Gulf countries, any conflict escalation would be disastrous. Hope diplomacy prevails. India should play a balanced role given our good relations with both Arab nations and Iran.

While UAE's efforts are commendable, I wonder where is India's voice in these discussions? We're a major regional power with stakes in Middle East stability. Our foreign policy needs to be more proactive rather than reactive.

The diplomatic outreach is good but actions matter more. Gulf countries must ensure safety of Indian workers if tensions escalate. Many families back home depend on remittances from the region. #SafetyFirst

India has maintained good relations with both Arab nations and Iran. This balanced approach serves our national interest well. We must continue this while protecting our diaspora and energy needs. Jai Hind!
