Following his Poland visit, PM Modi will travel to Ukraine on August 23, at the invitation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. "This visit is equally historic, as it will be the first by an Indian Prime Minister to Ukraine since diplomatic relations were established more than 30 years ago," Lal noted. The visit is expected to build on recent high-level interactions between the leaders, with Modi having previously met Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Italy.
The MEA reaffirmed India's consistent stance on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, highlighting the importance of diplomacy and dialogue.
