India has expressed strong support for the upcoming meeting between the United States and the Russian Federation, scheduled to take place in Alaska on August 15, 2025. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said the understanding reached between the two nations holds the potential to end the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and create new opportunities for peace.
India Welcomes US-Russia Understanding for August 15 Peace Talks
Quoting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s consistent stance that “this is not an era of war,” the MEA underlined India’s endorsement of the summit and reiterated its readiness to assist in advancing peace efforts. “India stands ready to support these efforts,” the official statement read.
Diplomatic observers note that the Alaska talks come at a time when the war in Ukraine has had far-reaching geopolitical and economic consequences, including disruptions in global energy markets, rising food insecurity, and increased tensions in international relations. India’s statement reflects its long-held position of advocating for dialogue, diplomacy, and a peaceful resolution to the crisis.
India’s support for the summit could also strengthen its role as a bridge-builder
Experts believe India’s support for the summit could also strengthen its role as a bridge-builder between conflicting powers, given its balanced engagement with both Washington and Moscow over the past years. The MEA’s stance signals New Delhi’s readiness to contribute constructively should peace negotiations move forward after the Alaska meeting.
If the talks yield progress, they could mark a turning point in the nearly three-year-long conflict, offering hope not only for Ukraine and Russia but also for global stability.
