"India is the land of Lord Buddha's legacy. Therefore, India does not believe in war and advocates for peace in this region," Prime Minister Modi said, addressing the Indian diaspora in Poland. He made this statement before his visit to Ukraine.
"India's concept is clear: this is not an era of war, and it is the time to unite to tackle the biggest challenges of humanity. Thus, India believes in dialogue and diplomacy to resolve conflict," Modi said.
