Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke to Prime Minister Narendra Modi over phone on Monday amid the ongoing war with Russia.
Zelensky tweeted that I spoke over the phone with PM Modi. Best wishes to him for a successful G20 Presidency. It was at this forum that I announced the peace formula and now I look forward to India’s participation in its implementation. I also thanked PM Modi for the humanitarian assistance and support in the United Nations.
Let us tell you that the war between Russia and Ukraine is going on for the last 10 months.
During this, Ukraine has raised the issue of ‘immoral war’ and peace on many international platforms.
India has sent several consignments of humanitarian aid containing essential medicines and equipment to Ukraine since the Russia-Ukraine war that began on 24 February.
India has repeatedly urged the Russian and Ukrainian sides to return to the path of diplomacy and dialogue.
New Delhi has also expressed its support for all diplomatic efforts to end the conflict between the two countries. PM Modi had also told Russian President Vladimir Putin that “today’s era is not of war.”
The G20 summit will be held in September 2023 next year. For this, the process has started from December this year.
Before the summit, this process will go on for the whole year in which there will be meetings between ministers of different countries, senior officials of many countries and civil societies.
The G20 consists of 19 countries and the European Union. Its members represent approximately 85 percent of global GDP, more than 75 percent of global trade, and nearly two-thirds of the world population.
The first meeting of the Development Working Group (DWG) under India’s G20 chairmanship was held in Mumbai from 13-16 December.
