26:38on the UAE. The manner in which UAE has been targeted is not acceptable. A clear message

26:45going out to every stakeholder in this war, while India is still maintaining a very neutral

26:49position. But the message going out to the U.S., to Israel, to Iran, equally.

26:57Suresh, India has always maintained that there should be peace. And this is for the first time

27:02when Prime Minister is in UAE after this conflict has started in the end of February. Since

27:09then, there have been several change calls that Prime Minister has made to leaders, to

27:14stakeholders, calling for peace. And once again, today, when he is in UAE, he is saying that

27:19India believes in diplomacy. That means clearly no war is acceptable. Strike on innocent people

27:27of a country which is just not involved in this conflict is unacceptable. So, at the

27:32same time, he is condemning, he is showing solidarity, and he is also calling for peace.

27:37And a very strong message out here, Suresha, that India can be looked at as a mediator in

27:44this whole conflict. Because Prime Minister Narendra Modi says India believes in diplomacy.

27:49So, he is not only appealing the countries, but he is also saying that India believes in

27:55diplomacy. India is always on the side of peace. And he condemns the kind of strikes that happened

28:01in UAE on major establishments because Iran had hit several places across UAE. So, certainly,

28:10this is important to read as a very strong message that Prime Minister has now taken to

28:15UAE as he is visiting his friend, UAE's President Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed.

28:22Oh, yes, absolutely, Shivani. And let's not forget that the timing is extremely crucial.

28:27The world is divided. Important powers are divided. Geopolitical uncertainty is at its high.

28:34Energy markets are volatile. Global alliances are shifting. And India and UAE's relationship

28:40at this point becomes most important when it comes to this key partnership.

28:45See, we've always heard that importance means a friend in need is a friend indeed. And the

28:52UAE and India have been friends. But this is the volatile time, very uncertain. And there's

28:58a lot of ambiguity on what's going to happen, for how long this impact will come, for how long

29:05the economic impact will be there. Because there is still not, the flow is not shumming back to

29:12normal. When it comes to the energy supplies from that region, from the Persian Gulf, there are

29:16hundreds of ships from different countries that are stuck in the region. The business is not going

29:22as usual. So, in this hour, when UAE and India are meeting, they want to move ahead. It is actually

29:30a

29:30very important step when it comes to India's energy security and the efforts that Indian government

29:36has been making to ensure that people are not impacted, especially when it comes to the fuel,

29:42the LPG, the most important fuel that is largely used in…

29:53All right, not too sure if Shivani is still connected with us. We'll try and reconnect that line with her.

29:58But

29:59important news coming at this point, that statement by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, where he, in direct

30:06words, condemned the strikes on the UAE during the West Asia war. And most importantly, the key MOUs that

30:15have been signed between India and the UAE will…
