The Middle East is burning. After Iran’s attacks, Israel has planned a retaliatory strike. This simply means that more gunpowder will be mixed in the air of the Middle East. India is keeping an eye on these situations. On Friday, the Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement. It said that we are keeping a close eye on the situation. We are concerned about the deteriorating security situation on the Blue Line. Everyone should respect the integrity of the UN. Appropriate measures should also be taken to ensure the safety of UN peacekeepers. The ‘Blue Line’ separates Lebanon from Israel and the Golan Heights.
Earlier, PM Modi said in the 19th East Asia Summit that the solution to problems cannot come from the battlefield. The PM said that the countries of the Global South are having the most negative impact of the ongoing conflicts in many countries of the world. Peace and stability should be restored in Eurasia and West Asia as soon as possible.
Maritime activities should be done under UNCLOS
Prime Minister Modi said that peace, security and stability in the South China Sea is in the interest of the entire Indo-Pacific region. We believe that maritime activities should be under UNCLOS. Freedom of navigation and airspace is also necessary. For this, a strong and effective code of conduct should be created. There should be no curbs on the foreign policy of regional countries.
Prime Minister Modi said that our thinking should be evolutionary and not expansionist. I come from the land of Buddha. I have repeatedly said that this is not the era of war. Problems cannot be solved from the battlefield. Territorial integrity and international law should be respected. We should emphasize on dialogue and diplomacy.
Terrorism is a serious challenge for the world
PM Modi said that India will continue to contribute in this direction while fulfilling the responsibility of Vishwabandhu. Terrorism is a serious challenge for the world. To combat this, we have to come together and work together. We have to further strengthen mutual cooperation in the fields of cyber, maritime and space.
