News India Live, Digital Desk: In today’s time, the drawn swords between Russia and Ukraine have become a headache not only for the two countries but for the entire world. Donald Trump, who had repeatedly promised during the election that he would stop this war immediately, is now seen in his action mode. In this series he ‘Board of Peace’ In which some influential leaders of the world are planned to be included.
Why is this special for India?
The biggest question is whether India will join it? The truth is that any big country in the world has now started believing that no major global issue can be solved without India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has good relations with Vladimir Putin and also with Western countries. Trump knows that if India sits at this table, it will be much easier to persuade Russia to talk.
Why did some countries say ‘no’?
But the story is not that simple. It is reported that some European countries have shown some indifference towards Trump’s invitation. These countries feel that Trump probably wants to reach an agreement on his own terms rather than on Ukraine’s terms. Many NATO allies fear that Trump may give Russia too much leeway in this matter. That is why, while some countries are considering it a ‘great step’, some are looking at it with suspicion.
India’s stand: friendship and customs too
India has always followed the path of ‘non-alignment’. PM Modi has already said that “this is not an era of war.” India is inclined towards peace, but it will only thoughtfully become a part of any such board where its autonomy remains intact. This offer from Trump can be a big opportunity for India to show its global dominance and also a diplomatic challenge.
At present, the Ministry of External Affairs has not opened its cards on this. But it is certain that if Modi’s name is included in Trump’s ‘Peace Team’, then India’s ‘world friend’ image will become even stronger.
