Friday’s high-level talks in New Delhi between India’s EAM S. Jaishankar and Palestine’s FM Warsan Agabekian spotlighted development synergy, the Gaza peace framework, and area-wide progress. Agabekian’s presence marks her role in the second India-Arab Foreign Ministers’ assembly.
Jaishankar captured the essence on X: delight in meeting, robust exchanges on Gaza peace, partnership evaluations, and agreements for expanded cooperation. Agabekian mirrored this, posting about her arrival and its affirmation of bilateral strengths with India and Arab solidarity.
In remarks to IANS, she positioned the forum as prime for tackling Palestinian priorities, Gaza rebuilds, peace outlines, and shared concerns. Regarding India’s mediation prospects, she highlighted its dual friendships as ideal for facilitation and proactive involvement.
These discussions occur against a backdrop of Middle East volatility, positioning India as a key mediator. Focus on reconstruction and aid initiatives could yield tangible support for Gaza. As ministers convene, the outcomes may influence broader peace dynamics, emphasizing dialogue over discord.
