Alaska Summit echoes India's position - dialogue and diplomacy is the way forward

India supports US-Russia Alaska Summit, reiterating dialogue and diplomacy as key to resolving the Ukraine conflict.

New Delhi, August 16

The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has welcomed the progress made at the Alaska Summit between the United States and Russia, highlighting India's position of dialogue and diplomacy being the way forward as the world looks to see an early end to the conflict in Ukraine.

In a statement, MEA spokesperson said that India welcomes the Summit meeting between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin and that their leadership in the pursuit of peace is highly commendable.

It said that the way forward can only be through dialogue and diplomacy

"India welcomes the Summit meeting in Alaska between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin. Their leadership in the pursuit of peace is highly commendable," the statement said.

"India appreciates the progress made in the Summit. The way forward can only be through dialogue and diplomacy. The world wants to see an early end to the conflict in Ukraine," it added.

India has time and again emphasised that dialogue and diplomacy is the way forward.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's message for peace, when he emphasised "this is not an era of war", during the G20 Summit in Bali in 2022 in the face of the Russia-Ukraine conflict has been echoed time and again. From the high tables to the various global joint statements, India's message for peace has been welcomed across the world.

Earlier on Friday, the United States and Russia concluded the much-anticipated Alaska Summit Meeting aimed at bringing peace to the conflict in Ukraine.

In a post on Truth Social, the US President called it a "great and very successful day in Alaska" and highlighted that the best way to go forward would be through a "peace agreement".

As someone living in Delhi, I'm proud to see India's diplomatic voice being heard globally. But I wonder - are we doing enough to help mediate? With our good relations with both Russia and West, maybe we can play bigger role?

Dialogue is good but actions matter more. How many summits have happened since Ukraine war began? Meanwhile common people suffer. India should push for concrete ceasefire agreement, not just statements.

India's neutral position is paying off! While Western media criticizes us, now even they are adopting our approach. Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam (world is one family) philosophy winning at last 🌍

Interesting to see India's diplomatic influence growing. But shouldn't we be more concerned about how this conflict affects our oil imports and economy? Peace is good, but stability matters too.

As an Indian student studying international relations, this is textbook diplomacy! Balancing relations while advocating peace - exactly what Chanakya would have advised in Arthashastra 👏
