Modi assured that in any crisis, anywhere in the world, India’s ‘sincere effort is to be the first responder and reach out to offer help’
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a special session of the Parliament of Guyana on Friday, said that this is not the time for conflict, but rather a time to “identify and remove the conditions” that create conflicts. His comments come against the backdrop of the escalating Russia-Ukraine war.
The Prime Minister further assured that in any crisis, anywhere in the world, India’s “sincere effort is to be the first responder and reach out to offer help.”
“We have never moved forward with the idea of expansionism… I believe whether it is space or sea, this should be the subject of universal cooperation, not universal conflict. For the world also, this is not time for conflict, this is the time to identify the conditions that create conflicts and remove it,” Modi stated at the Guyana Parliament.
