India’s response to the Middle East crisis prioritizes its citizens’ safety, with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar holding three discussions with Iran’s Seyed Abbas Araghchi, MEA announced in a briefing.
Recent talks zeroed in on vessel protection and India’s energy stability, per spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, who advised caution on further disclosures.
The 9,000-strong Indian community in Iran includes diverse groups: academics, seafarers, commerce professionals, specialists, and faith travelers. Evacuations are advancing—students lead returns, Tehran residents relocated preemptively.
Via Azerbaijan-Armenia corridors, India provides visa aid and land transit support. ‘Several have made it through and returned by air,’ Jaiswal updated, stressing embassy advisory compliance.
This effort reflects strategic foresight and empathy. As regional pressures mount, MEA’s updates signal unwavering resolve, ensuring no Indian is left behind in the turmoil.
