Spike in oil price due to Russia-Ukraine conflict breaking India’s back: Jaishankar
Washington, Sep 28 (PTI) India is deeply concerned over the spike in the price of oil due to the Russia-Ukraine conflict and it is “breaking our back,” External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said.
Addressing a joint press conference with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken after holding bilateral talks at the Department of State, Jaishankar on Tuesday said there is a very deep concern among developing countries about how their energy needs are addressed.
Speaking about the Ukraine war, he said: “We have taken the position privately, publicly, confidentially and consistently that this conflict is not in anybody’s interest.” The best way forward is to return to dialogue and diplomacy, he said.
