New Delhi: PM Modi, also known as Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Tuesday held a telephone conversation with the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al Sabah. The Prime Minister’s Office said this in a statement.
The two leaders exchanged views on the evolving security situation in West Asia.
Prime Minister Modi expressed deep concern over the escalation of tensions. Moreover, he reaffirmed India’s strong condemnation of attacks on Kuwait’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
He reiterated the call for de-escalation, dialogue, and diplomacy for the earliest restoration of peace and stability.
Prime Minister Modi thanked the Emir for his personal attention to the continued well-being and the safety of the large Indian community in Kuwait. This is as per the statement.
The phone call comes as US President Donald Trump has reiterated that the naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz will remain strictly enforced. Additionally, this will continue until a definitive agreement is secured with Tehran.
The US President offered these assessments while speaking to reporters while departing New York. This was after attending the NBA Finals match between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. He also noted that active dialogue with Tehran was progressing. Moreover, this could yield absolute clarity shortly.
“We’re in the final throes of a very good deal that will not allow, in any way or form, nuclear weapons. And the Strait will open up right away. It’ll open up immediately upon signing, which could be in two or three days,” he added.
Vowing to maintain maximum economic pressure on the regime through this strategy, Trump asserted that “no oil, no income, no nothing” would be permitted to transit through the critical maritime corridor. This will remain until a final agreement is officially inked.
Expressing strong optimism regarding the trajectory of the ongoing backchannel talks, the US President indicated that a major diplomatic breakthrough could materialise within a matter of days.
