Secretary (East) P. Kumaran, in a dedicated briefing tied to Carney’s tour, disclosed Modi’s sharp dismay at happenings in India-Iran-Gulf spheres. The premier pressed for de-escalation via restraint, favoring diplomacy and talks to resolve underlying frictions while honoring sovereignties and territorial integrities.
Outreach to Indians abroad continues through missions, with alerts on vigilance, mission connectivity, and local security observance.
Modi, in joint remarks with Carney, reinforced India’s peace mantra across conflicts. ‘Allied democracies fortify tranquility,’ he posited, lamenting West Asia’s woes. Endorsing negotiation for disputes, India commits to partnering Gulf entities for expatriate protection.
