The conversation came amid renewed efforts to ease tensions across the region following recent developments involving key stakeholders.
According to official sources, Modi reiterated India’s long‑standing position that disputes should be resolved through peaceful engagement rather than confrontation. He underlined the importance of sustained diplomatic efforts to ensure stability, safeguard freedom of navigation, and protect international commerce routes that are vital to global trade.
The two leaders discussed the evolving situation in West Asia and shared views on promoting mutual understanding among regional powers. Modi expressed India’s readiness to support initiatives that foster dialogue and cooperation, reflecting New Delhi’s balanced approach to foreign policy and its commitment to global peace.
India has consistently advocated for de‑escalation and constructive engagement in the Middle East, maintaining strong ties with both Iran and other regional partners. The latest conversation underscores India’s role as a responsible voice for peace and stability in an increasingly volatile geopolitical landscape.
The call also highlighted India’s broader diplomatic outreach, aligning with its vision of “Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam” — the world as one family — and reaffirming its belief that diplomacy remains the most effective path toward lasting harmony.
