While the whole world is shocked by America’s attack on Venezuela and the arrest of President Nicolas Maduro and many countries of the world have criticized America’s move, India has given a very restrained and cautious statement. This attitude of India seems completely opposite in comparison to other countries of the world.
In fact, India gave a brief statement regarding this matter in just five sentences, however, neither America nor President Donald Trump was named in this statement. Even India did not condemn this military action of America. Nevertheless, this response has clearly exposed India’s diplomatic constraints when dealing with an unpredictable US President.
How did India react to the matter?
More than 24 hours after the completion of America’s secret operation, India gave its reaction, in which deep concern was expressed from India’s side. India’s response did not mention either sovereignty or territorial integrity, which India traditionally supports and which India frequently invokes in its border disputes.
India’s Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement on this matter and said, ‘The recent incident in Venezuela is a matter of great concern. We are closely monitoring the changing situation. India reiterates its commitment to support the security and welfare of the Venezuelan people.
Why did India react so restrained to Venezuela?
India’s stance regarding Venezuela remained largely the same as it was during the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022. In which balance was maintained by avoiding support or opposition of any one party. In fact, India’s reaction to the Venezuela issue is being seen as an attempt not to anger America at a time when India-US relations are already tense. India is already facing 50% tariffs and despite months of talks, no bilateral trade agreement has been reached between the two countries so far.
Speaking to news agency ANI, former Indian Ambassador to Venezuela YK Sinha said, ‘India’s response is very balanced and at this stage it does not want to blame anyone. We also have to keep in mind our bilateral relations with America and other countries. European countries have also adopted almost the same stance.
