Ukraine's deputy Foreign Minister Emine Dzhaparova who visited India on Monday stressed supporting Ukraine in the ongoing conflict with Russia is the only right choice for true 'Vishwaguru'.
Emine Dzhaparova met with Sanjay Verma, Secretary (West) under Ministry of External Affairs. Tweeting about the visit, Verma said, “Discussed bilateral engagements and cooperation going forward.”
Tweeting about the visit, Dzhaparova said, “Pleased to have a meeting with Secretary (West) MFA @SanjayVermalFS in New Delhi. Updated on #Ukraine’s efforts to fight #russian unprovoked aggression. Invited India to join President Zelenskyy's #PeaceFormula & #GrainFromUkraine initiative. Important to have #India on board.” She added, “Happy to visit India-the land that gave birth to many sages, saints & gurus. Today, #India wants to be the Vishwaguru, the global teacher and arbiter. In our case, we’ve got a very clear picture: aggressor against innocent victim. Supporting Ukraine is the only right choice for true Vishwaguru.”
Talking to presspersons, ANI quoted Dzhaparova as saying, "I think that India should be pragmatic in diversifying its energy resources, diversifying military contracts, in diversifying political interaction.” She added, “So we hope that India and Ukraine, even though we are distant geographically, but we will become closer physically and politically and in many other ways." The Ukraine minister said her nation has never attacked anyone like India and Ukraine is victim of unprovoked and neocolonial war.
According to reports, Dzhaparova is on a four-day visit to India and would also be meeting with Meenakshi Lekhi, Minister of State for External Affairs and Culture, and Vikram Misri, Deputy National Security Advisor.
