    1 hour ago

    Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday held telephonic conversations with Sultan Haitham bin Tarik of Oman and Kuwait Crown Prince Sheikh Sabah Al-Khaled Al-Hamad Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah, a day after speaking with the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Jordan.

    The outreach comes as the conflict between Iran and the United States spreads across the wider region, leading to airspace closures and raising concerns over oil supplies and energy infrastructure.

    Concerns Over Attacks And Indian Community

    During his discussions with the two Gulf leaders, Modi conveyed concern over the attacks in Gulf countries and deliberated on the security of the Indian community residing there.

    Earlier in the day, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) expressed grave concern over the rapidly worsening situation in Iran and the Gulf region following the outbreak of the conflict.

    The MEA reiterated that the safety and well-being of around one crore Indian nationals in the Middle East remains a key priority.

    Previous Outreach To Saudi Arabia And Bahrain

    On Monday, Modi spoke with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Bahrain King Hamad Bin Isa Al Khalifa, backing efforts for the restoration of peace and stability in the region and condemning the attacks on the two countries.

    The Prime Minister said he and Mohammed bin Salman agreed that the “earliest restoration of regional peace and stability is of utmost importance”. He also thanked the Saudi Crown Prince for ensuring the well-being of the Indian community in “these difficult times”.
