French President Emmanuel Macron and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi agreed on Tuesday to “work together to end the conflict” in Ukraine, the Elysee Palace said in a statement, AFP reported, taken by Agerpres.
The leaders of the two countries discussed in a telephone conversation “the war unleashed by Russia in Ukraine and its destabilizing consequences for the rest of the world,” the French presidency reports.
Emmanuel Macron, who hosted the Prime Minister of India in Paris in May, emphasized “France’s determination to continue supporting Ukraine.”
India refrained from openly condemning the Russian invasion of Ukraine and from joining the votes on this issue in the UN. However, in June he signed the G7 declaration, in which he pledged to “respect the territorial integrity and sovereignty of other states.”
Faced with the food crisis caused by the conflict in Ukraine, the French president confirmed “the importance of coordinated action by the international community.”
The leaders of the two countries also discussed “challenges in the Indo-Pacific space, as well as the situation in Sri Lanka.” India is concerned about China’s growing influence in Sri Lanka.
