|August 17, 2025
INDIA on Saturday welcomed the high-stakes summit between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin held in Alaska, describing their leadership as "commendable" and urging that dialogue and diplomacy must remain the only way forward in resolving the ongoing war in Ukraine.
"Their leadership in the pursuit of peace is highly commendable," said the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in a statement, adding that India "appreciates the progress made in the Summit." The ministry was responding to the near three-hour meeting between Trump and Putin on Friday, their first since the conflict began in 2022, which ended without a ceasefire but with talk of moving directly toward a peace agreement.
