We will have to figure out ways to end the conflict as soon as possible to restore regional stability and peace. This is the call of the entire humanity,” said PM Modi.

In his opening remarks at the SCO Summit, Putin said he highly valued the contributions of India and other strategic partners in facilitating a resolution to the Ukraine conflict. “We highly value the efforts and proposals of China, India, and our other strategic partners, aimed at facilitating the settlement of the Ukrainian crisis,” Putin said while speaking at the (SCO) Summit.
