Jaishankar spoke to Iran's Foreign Minister three times, discussing the safety of ships

News Topical, Digital Desk : Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar and the Iranian Foreign Minister have held three talks in recent days. The last conversation focused on issues related to shipping safety and India's energy security. Beyond that, it would be premature for me to comment.

Jaiswal said, "Our Foreign Minister is talking to his Iranian counterpart and there have been three conversations in the last few days. As for the impact of the war, it's obvious to everyone what's happening around us. It has affected the lives of many of us, not just ours, but people and countries around the world."

'Pakistan has been a country that has been promoting terrorism for decades'

Speaking on Pakistan, MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, "We reject such baseless allegations. It has become commonplace for Pakistan to blame India for its own mistakes. As a country that has been sponsoring terrorism for decades, Pakistan has no credibility when it comes to cross-border terrorism. No amount of storytelling will change this truth, nor will Pakistan's victimization fool anyone."
