Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s first-ever visit to Ukraine since its independence, marking a significant moment in diplomatic relations between the two nations.
During the talks, both leaders emphasized their mutual interest in elevating bilateral ties from a comprehensive partnership to a strategic partnership, signing four key documents in areas ranging from trade to military cooperation.
The joint statement released by India and Ukraine underscored their commitment to principles of international law, including respect for territorial integrity and sovereignty, and a call for closer bilateral dialogue on these fronts.
Amid the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, PM Modi expressed India’s readiness to play an active role in promoting peace, emphasizing that India has always been on the side of peace.
In his talks, PM Modi shared insights from his past meetings with Russian President Vladimir Putin, reiterating that problems cannot be solved on the battlefield and advocating for dialogue and diplomacy to restore peace.
