Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Ukraine is historic. He has become the first Indian Prime Minister to visit the country since the establishment of diplomatic relations between India and Ukraine 30 years ago. The timing of this visit of PM Modi is considered very important.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Friday and the two leaders shook hands and hugged before a bilateral meeting. This is the first visit of an Indian leader to Ukraine since Ukraine’s independence in 1991. Despite Zelensky’s criticism of Modi’s recent meeting with Putin, India’s influence is seen as crucial in finding a negotiated solution to Ukraine. The visit also highlights India’s role in global peace efforts, with Modi expected to emphasise on a balanced approach to end the conflict.
Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Ukraine is historic. He has become the first Indian Prime Minister to set foot in the country since the establishment of diplomatic relations between India and Ukraine 30 years ago. The timing of this visit of PM Modi is considered very important. Modi is expected to advocate a diplomatic solution to the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, which seems to be stronger than ever after Ukraine’s shocking attack in Russia’s western Kursk region.
Before arriving in Kiev, Prime Minister Modi stopped in Poland on Thursday, where he called for intensified diplomatic efforts to end the war. “No problem can be solved on the battlefield,” Modi said ahead of his visit. He said India supports dialogue and diplomacy for the restoration of peace and stability as soon as possible.
