Reaffirming India’s long standing position, Prime Minister Modi stressed that conflicts should be resolved through diplomacy and peaceful dialogue instead of military action. He emphasized that negotiations remain the most effective path toward reducing tensions and achieving lasting peace.

He noted that uninterrupted shipping is vital not only for India but also for the international community.

The upcoming discussions are expected to cover maritime security, commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, economic sanctions, and several other unresolved issues. India has consistently maintained that peaceful negotiations and diplomatic efforts offer the best opportunity for achieving lasting regional peace and stability.
