Modi’s Twin Meetings with Ukraine and Palestine Presidents in New York Draw Global Focus on Peace Efforts

In a noteworthy update, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has conducted yet another one-on-one meeting with Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy in New York. This is the third time the two leaders have met face-to-face in just four months – underlining how their talks are intensifying alongside the Russia-Ukraine conflict which began escalating again this year.

But it was the unscheduled discussion with Zelenskyy that provided a surprise conclusion to the Indian leader’s busy schedule during this trip – one where requests for official discussions usually come from his office.Back-to-back meetings like these (officials call them “pull-asides”) reflect India’s active involvement behind the scenes as it tries to help find peaceful solutions for two different wars, insiders say.

The Indian government issued a statement after the meeting with Zelenskyy quoting the Prime Minister as repeating India’s position that a peaceful solution to the conflict should be found using diplomacy and dialogue with all parties. It was added that India would be willing to help in any way it could. At a later press conference the Indian Foreign Secretary said the talks showed Modi’s desire for peace because he is worried about what the war might mean especially for developing countries; he wants them not to suffer.

PM Modi is determined that peace should be given a chance the official added. Among other things discussed by the two men were how peace might be brought to Ukraine. This was not their first meeting on the subject: they also spoke about it at a summit in Italy earlier this year and when Mr Modi went to Kiev in August.

Zelenskyy thanked India for its concern and Modi’s efforts towards peace. According to sources, Modi reassured Zelenskyy of his continued support for peace and reiterated that many world leaders feel the same way; they want an end to the conflict but believe it must be resolved peacefully. “The details of what a peace deal could look like are being discussed among several countries who all want this to end well – including us,” said one official after talks between the pair.
