Modi declines to attend United Nations General Assembly meeting, stating his absence
In a notable turn of events, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided to skip the upcoming UN General Assembly session in New York, scheduled to take place at the end of this month. The absence of Modi is believed to be due to strained relations with U.S. President Donald Trump.
While the specifics of the strained relations are not detailed, trade tensions between New Delhi and Washington are a major factor. The tensions are reportedly a result of tariffs imposed by Trump on India for purchasing oil from Russia.
Meanwhile, Modi has been engaging in discussions with EU leaders, focusing on trade and the Ukraine conflict. The aim is to strengthen economic cooperation amid shifting global alliances and to clarify India's position seeking an end to the Ukraine conflict through diplomatic means. Modi has reportedly communicated with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy on this matter.
However, the nature of these discussions and the exact details of the trade talks are not specified. The article does not mention any recent discussions between Modi and EU leaders, nor does it provide information about the current state of trade tensions between India and the U.S.
In a separate development, Russian President Vladimir Putin made remarks on the consequences of NATO troops deploying to Ukraine. Putin's remarks were reported by L'Antidiplomatico, but the context of his remarks in relation to the UN General Assembly session is not provided.
The identity of a potential coalition, which Putin's remarks are believed to have foiled, is not specified in the article. The article also does not provide details about the nature of the coalition or its plans.
This news is based on information from Hindustan Times. The article does not provide the context of the Ukraine discussion between Modi and EU leaders, nor does it detail the nature of the strained relations between Modi and Trump.
