Indian & Ukrainian Foreign Ministers To Discuss Issues of Common Concern

The visiting Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba is all set to meet his Indian counterpart S.Jaishankar and discuss global and regional issues of common concern, Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) official spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said on Thursday.

Jaiswal made the announcement while addressing a press briefing and said that the two leaders will also hold talks on issues related to bilateral ties and review the intergovernmental commission that was held earlier.

“The visit of Ukrainian Foreign Minister is happening on the invitation of External Affairs Minister. He will be here on a two-day visit, as you would have seen, we have issued a press release in this regard. He will have a bilateral engagement with the External Affairs Minister, where they will go over the gamut of issues that lie in the domain of bilateral relations and also review the intergovernmental commission that was held earlier’ Jaiswal said.

When asked about Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky’s post of hoping whether India will join the upcoming Swiss Peace Conference, he said, “Our position is very clear on peace initiatives and how we look at the Ukraine-Russia conflict. We continue to encourage peaceful resolution of the conflict through dialogue and diplomacy and remain open to engage all ways and means to help achieve this objective.”

India has consistently denounced the loss of civilian lives and advocated for a peaceful resolution to the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. During a significant address at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Uzbekistan in 2022, Prime Minister Narendra Modi conveyed to President Vladimir Putin that “the current era does not favor warfare.” Dmytro Kuleba, who arrived in India on Thursday, stated that his two-day official visit aims to strengthen the bilateral relationship between the two nations and advance the dialogue initiated between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Ukrainian President Zelensky.
