Indian External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar met with the Ukrainian Minister of Foreign Affairs in New York to discuss the state of relations between the two nations. The meeting serves as a follow-up to Jaishankar’s official visit to Kyiv, which occurred earlier in September.

During the discussion, Jaishankar reiterated India’s official stance that dialogue and diplomacy are the necessary paths forward for resolving the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. While the meeting highlights India's continued diplomatic engagement with both sides of the conflict, specific details regarding any new agreements or shifts in policy were not disclosed. The meeting underscores India's role in maintaining communication channels with Kyiv, despite India's historically close ties with Russia and its refusal to join Western-led sanctions against Moscow. The brief nature of the report leaves the specific agenda items of the New York meeting largely unstated, focusing instead on the continuity of the diplomatic dialogue established during the earlier visit to Ukraine.
