India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi told Russian President Vladimir Putin that now was not the time for war, with nations worldwide facing food and fuel security threats amid the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war and the coronavirus pandemic.
Modi made the remarks to Putin on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit in Uzbekistan on Friday, according to a statement issued by the Kremlin.
“I know that this is not the era of wars. We have repeatedly spoken about this in our phone conversations. Democracy, diplomacy, and dialogue—these are important for us to find solutions,” Modi said. Had a wonderful meeting with President Putin. We got the opportunity to discuss furthering India-Russia cooperation in sectors such as trade, energy, defence and more.
