As the US-Iran-Israel war entered the fourth week, India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi has updated the Indian parliament about steps taken by his government to ensure the country’s energy security and the welfare of around 10 million Indians living in the Gulf countries.
The situation in West Asia is a matter of deep concern. It has created unprecedented challenges for India, especially for the country’s economy and energy security.
Making a statement in the parliament on March 23, PM Modi underlined steps taken by the Indian government to diversify energy supplies in the wake of the war and stressed that the government is pursuing a multi-faceted strategy to minimise the impact of the energy crisis on the Indian economy.
PM Modi exhorted MPs to speak in one voice on the critical situation in West Asia.
