India urged an early resolution to the Ukraine war on Saturday, emphasizing “dialogue and diplomacy as the only way out.”
“As the Ukraine conflict continues to rage, we are often asked whose side we are on,” Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said while addressing the 77th session of the UN General Assembly in New York.
“India is on the side of peace and will remain firmly there. We are on the side that respects the UN Charter and its founding principles,” said Jaishankar.
Russia launched a war against Ukraine in February, resulting in the migration of millions, death, and injury to thousands.
Pointing to escalating costs of food, fuel, and fertilizers, the top diplomat said: “it is therefore in our collective interest to work constructively, both within the UN and outside, in finding an early resolution to this conflict.”
