NEW DELHI: Dialogue and diplomacy are the only way forward for peaceful resolution of the Ukraine conflict, National Security Advisor Ajit Doval said at a conference in Jeddah. “This is the only way forward for peace”, he said.
Underlining the need for upholding sovereignty and territorial integrity by all states without “exception”, he said India has regularly engaged both Russia and Ukraine at the highest levels since the beginning of the conflict and New Delhi supports a global order based on principles enshrined in UN Charter and international law.
Referring to the impact of the conflict, he said the whole world, especially the Global South, is bearing the brunt of the situation. New Delhi is providing both humanitarian assistance to Ukraine and economic assistance to its neighbours in the Global South, he said.
“The meeting confronts a two-fold challenge – resolution of the situation and softening the consequences of the conflict. Efforts must be directed on both fronts simultaneously and much more groundwork is needed to ensure this,” he added. The two-day meeting was hosted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman.
