We have to find a way to return to the path of ceasefire in Ukraine: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday underlined the need not to promote any sanctions on energy supplies and once again pitched for resolving the Ukraine dispute through diplomacy while calling for ensuring stability. Addressing a session of the annual G20 summit, Modi said global challenges posed by climate change, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the Ukraine crisis have created havoc in the world and global supply chains have "collapsed".

 

The prime minister called for no sanctions on energy supplies amid calls from Western countries against buying Russian oil and gas in the wake of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In a session called on food and energy security, Modi said, "India's energy security is important for global development, as it is the fastest growing economy in the world." We should not promote any restrictions on the supply of energy and stability in the energy market should be ensured.

 

The session was attended by several world leaders including US President Joe Biden and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. He said that India is committed to clean energy and the environment. “By 2023, we will generate half of the electricity we need from renewable energy sources,” he said at the summit in Bali, Indonesia. An inclusive energy transition requires a sustainable supply of timely and affordable finance and technology to developing countries.
