In a significant development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India and President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine are scheduled to meet in Hiroshima, Japan on the sidelines of the G7 Summit. This meeting marks the first in-person interaction between the two leaders since the Russia-Ukraine conflict began last year.
PM Modi, who is in Japan to attend the G7 summit, will utilise this opportunity to engage with various world leaders and discuss pressing global issues.
During their discussions, PM Modi and President Zelensky are expected to address the current situation in Ukraine and explore avenues for further co-operation. The talks will likely focus on finding diplomatic solutions to de-escalate tensions and restore stability in the region.
Last year, Indian PM Modi had met Russian President Putin on the sidelines of the SCO Summit in Samarkand. Emphasising on the resolution of the ongoing conflict, PM told Putin that “This is not an era of war”, a line that since then has been repeated by other world leaders.
In addition to the bilateral meeting with President Zelenskyy, PM Modi’s Japan visit entails engaging with other prominent leaders. He is scheduled to meet his counterparts from South Korea, the United Kingdom, France, Vietnam, and host country Japan.
