In the first outreach from India with the Arab world following the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas militants, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar discussed the “crisis” in West Asia with his counterpart from the UAE Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan.
The two foreign ministers deliberated on the evolving situation during a phone conversation. Jaishankar is currently on a visit to Sri Lanka.
“Spoke to Foreign Minister @ABZayed of UAE this evening. Discussed the ongoing crisis in West Asia. Agreed to stay in touch,” the external affairs minister posted on X.
