00:00October 7th marks the anniversary of a significant conflict in the Middle East, a region long
00:19fraught with tension.
00:20As the world watches the unfolding crisis, India finds itself at a pivotal juncture,
00:26navigating the complexities of its relationships while advocating for peace.
00:32The recent escalation of violence involving Israel and its neighbouring countries has
00:38prompted urgent discussion in New Delhi.
00:41Prime Minister Narendra Modi convened a cabinet meeting, focused on security to assess the
00:48implications of trade, particularly in petroleum, as the conflict raises alarm about potential
00:55disruptions.
00:57India's concerns are two-fold, the immediate humanitarian crisis and the long-term implications
01:03for its economy.
01:05Should the conflict escalate into a formal war, especially if it involves major players
01:11like Iran, India could face significant challenges.
01:16Disruption in the vital Red Sea shipping route has not only impacted the global freight rates
01:22but also raised the price of petroleum products, critical to ever-growing India's energy needs.
01:28India's relationship with the Middle East is multifaceted.
01:33With strong ties to Israel, Iran and Arab countries, India has cultivated a delicate
01:38balance, maintaining diplomatic relations with all parties.
01:44This complexity requires a neutral stance, particularly as tension mounted in recent
01:49weeks.
01:50FPM Modi has emphasised this balance through discussions with key leaders, advocating for
01:56peace while condemning acts of terrorism.
02:01India recognises that its positive relations with both sides provide a unique opportunity
02:06to mediate and contribute in peace efforts.
02:10As major powers work diligently to prevent further escalation, India is positioned as
02:17a potential facilitator for dialogue.
02:20The sentiment among global leaders suggests a preference for measured responses rather
02:26than full-scale war, offering a glimmer of hope amid the rising tension.
02:33In this time of uncertainty, India's ability to balance its interests and relationship
02:39will be very crucial.
02:41The nation aims to uphold its commitment to peace while safeguarding its economic and
02:47strategic interests in a volatile region.
02:51As we reflect on the anniversary of conflict, let us hope for a resolution that prioritises
02:57peace and stability, not just in the Middle East but across the globe.
