India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated that India is 'closely monitoring' the situation in West Asia and developments in the region.
Responding to a question on Pakistan's role in ensuring the US–Iran ceasefire, Jaiswal said, 'We have a very simple answer. We are closely following developments in the West Asian region.'
On the Israel-Lebanon ceasefire, he said, 'India welcomes ceasefire and supports all steps towards peace.'
India has received an invitation to participate in a meeting hosted by French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer to discuss the Strait of Hormuz.
Since the war began, India has helped bring back 2,361 Indian citizens from Iran, including 1,041 Indian students and three foreigners.
On Pakistan reacting to the PoK provision in India's Delimitation Bill, Jaiswal said, 'We reject any attempts to intrude into India's internal matters or make any such remarks.'
India has withdrawn from the 33rd UN Climate Change Conference (COP33) due to several issues, but remains committed to meeting its climate change commitments.
