Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi received information by Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday about his summit discussions with US President Donald Trump in Alaska over the resolution of the conflict in Ukraine.
Three days after the high-profile summit in Alaska that concluded without a ceasefire agreement, Putin called the Indian prime minister.
After the phone chat, Modi said that India has repeatedly called for a peaceful settlement of the Ukraine issue and thanked Putin for sharing ideas from the conference.
“Thank my friend, President Putin, for his phone call and for sharing insights on his recent meeting with President Trump in Alaska,” Modi said in a post on X.
“India has consistently called for a peaceful resolution of the Ukraine conflict and supports all efforts in this regard. I look forward to our continued exchanges in the days to come,” he said.
“There were many, many points that we agreed on. I would say a couple of big ones that we haven’t quite got there, but we’ve made some headway. So there’s no deal until there’s a deal,” said Trump at a joint press conference with Putin after the meeting on Friday.
“Now, it’s really up to President Zelenskyy to get it done. And I would also say the European nations, they have to get involved a little – but it’s up to President Zelenskyy,” he added.
The two leaders also touched upon a number of issues of bilateral cooperation with a view to further strengthen the Special and Privileged Strategic Partnership between India and Russia.
The two leaders agreed to remain in close touch.
