India Hails U.S.-Iran Temporary Ceasefire
(MENAFN) New Delhi stepped forward Wednesday to endorse the ceasefire brokered between Washington and Tehran, calling for a durable peace in the Middle East while pressing for the unhindered flow of ships and commerce through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz.
India's foreign ministry made clear the country's long-standing position had not wavered throughout the crisis. "As we have continuously advocated earlier, de-escalation, dialogue and diplomacy are essential to bring an early end to the ongoing conflict," the ministry said in a formal statement.
New Delhi did not mince words about the toll the conflict has already exacted — pointing to widespread human suffering and serious disruptions to global energy supply chains and trade networks that have reverberated well beyond the region's borders.
The ministry's statement carried a pointed message for all parties involved regarding one of the world's most critical maritime chokepoints. "We expect that unimpeded freedom of navigation and global flow of commerce would prevail through the Strait of Hormuz," it said.
The remarks underscore India's acute economic exposure to instability in the Gulf — a region that supplies a significant share of the country's energy needs and serves as a corridor for billions of dollars in annual trade. With a ceasefire now in place and negotiations expected to follow, New Delhi appears keen to ensure that diplomatic progress translates into tangible stability for global markets.
