India Welcomes Israel-Iran Ceasefire, Calls For Sustained Focus On Dialogue And Diplomacy

The Ministry of External Affairs has welcomed 'reports' of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, shortly after US  President Donald Trump announced that both countries had agreed to a truce.

The Ministry of External Affairs released a statement on Tuesday and said, "We have been following developments overnight relating to the conflict between Iran and Israel, including the US action against Iran's nuclear facilities and Iranian retaliation against US military bases in Qatar."

MEA also expressed concern over the recent hostilities and said, "While we remain deeply concerned about the prospects for overall and sustained regional security and stability, we welcome reports of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel and the role played by the US and Qatar in bringing it about."
