Part Of Wider Diplomatic Outreach
The conversation is part of a series of calls Modi has held with global leaders since the conflict between Iran and the United States, backed by Israel, began on February 28.
Earlier this week, on Tuesday, March 24, Modi spoke with US President Donald Trump and described the interaction as a “useful exchange of views on the situation in West Asia”.
He reiterated that India supports de-escalation and early restoration of peace, while stressing that ensuring the Strait of Hormuz remains open, secure and accessible is essential for the world.
“We agreed to stay in touch regarding efforts towards peace and stability,” Modi said.
