India's Diplomatic Tightrope: Balancing Peace in Global Hotspots

  • India navigates global hotspots from Venezuela to Ukraine, guided by PM Modi's "today's era is not of war" principle.
  • In Venezuela, India voiced "deep concern" and called for peaceful dialogue, safeguarding energy interests without taking sides.
  • For Yemen, India adopted a "pro-legitimacy" stance, engaging with the internationally recognized PLC while remaining neutral on internal rivalries.
  • On Ukraine, India moved from "neutrality" to actively championing peace, abstaining from UN votes but offering mediation and continuing Russian oil imports.
  • India respects the "One China" policy but quietly dropped the phrase, expanding unofficial ties with Taiwan based on reciprocity and strategic stability.

Why It Matters: India maintains a balanced, peace-oriented foreign policy across complex global conflicts, prioritizing national interests.
