The Ministry of External Affairs has completely rejected NATO General Secretary Mark Rute’s claim in which he said that after US President Trump put a tariff to buy Russia oil on India, ‘Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to President Vladimir Putin to understand his strategy on Ukraine.’ The Ministry described it as ‘completely baseless’.
Ministry statement
The Ministry of External Affairs said that Prime Minister Modi never had such a conversation with Putin and no such phone talks took place. The Ministry expected an important organization like NATO to follow more responsibility and accuracy while making public statements. The ministry emphasized that such speculation or thought that ‘such conversations’ were absolutely unacceptable and this could affect the image of the leadership of any country.
India’s energy policy
The Ministry of External Affairs reiterated that India makes its energy import decisions keeping in mind the national interest and economic security. The ministry said that India will continue to take all necessary steps to ensure cheap and reliable energy for consumers and protect its national interests and economic security.
What did Rooty say?
Talking to CNN on the Sideline of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, NATO chief Mark Rute said that 50% tariff imposed on India by US President Donald Trump, including 25% fee for buying Russia oil, is making a big impact on Moscow.
Roote claimed that ‘this tariff affects Russia because it means that Delhi is now on the phone from Vladimir Putin in Moscow, and Narendra Modi is asking him,’ I support you, but can you explain me your strategy because India has 50% tariffs by America. ‘
