PM Modi: In a significant diplomatic move, leaders of the European Union have emphasised India’s expanding worldwide clout and its possible contribution to the settlement of the Russia-Ukraine crisis. EU leaders praised New Delhi’s impartial but effective approach during recent discussions with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, implying that Modi, not former US President Donald Trump, could be the pivotal player to assist in mediating peace between Moscow and Kyiv.
EU Leaders Acknowledge India’s Impact
In today’s multipolar world, EU leaders emphasised the importance of India’s voice. They pointed out that the world has embraced Modi’s repeated appeals for de-escalation and dialogue. India is a credible mediator in the issue because of its diplomatic balance, in contrast to other states that have adopted firm stances.
Modi’s Relentless Appeal for Peace
India has been cautious not to support either side of the conflict since it started in 2022. Modi grabbed waves at the G20 conference when he firmly declared, “This is not an era of war.” Since then, this message has grown to be a pillar of India’s foreign policy and has gained recognition on a number of global forums. Modi’s stance is now viewed by EU leaders as both practical and helpful in guiding future peace negotiations.
Trump’s Statements vs. Modi’s Reputation
Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, has repeatedly asserted that if elected again, he could negotiate an early conclusion to the war. EU leaders, however, seem more assured of Modi’s steady diplomacy than of Trump’s assurances. They underlined that New Delhi has the legitimacy required to bring opposing factions to the negotiating table because of its continued engagement with both Russia and the West.
Developing India-EU Relations
Modi and EU leaders talked about more general strategic cooperation in addition to the fight. In fields including trade, technology, renewable energy, and security, the European Union is eager to strengthen its relationship with India. Modi’s international outreach is being viewed as a chance to improve political and economic collaboration as the EU and India try to finalise a free trade pact.
India’s Function in International Mediation
For more than two years, the conflict in Ukraine has continued with little sign of ending. The world now sees New Delhi as a reliable partner in resolving international conflicts as well as a rising economic powerhouse, according to the EU’s most recent outreach to India.
