NEW DELHI: Ukraine ambassador Oleksandr Polishchuk has said that India and Ukraine remain in touch about a possible visit by President Volodymyr Zelensky to India. Prime Minister Narendra Modi had invited the president to visit India when he travelled to Kyiv last year and Zelensky had accepted the same.
"In relation to the declaration about the future strategic partnership between India and Ukraine, believe me, we have potential for that. The Indian Prime Minister invited Zelensky to come to India. Both sides are working on this. We expect President Zelensky to be in India, definitely. It will be a great achievement in our bilateral relationship," said the ambassador, adding both sides are trying to agree on a precise date.
The ambassador made the remarks to news agency ANI on the occasion of Ukraine's national day. At this stage though, as official sources said here, there's no clarity yet on when the visit might take place. India is currently focused on hosting Russian President Vladimir Putin for the India-Russia annual summit towards the end of the year.
Amid renewed peace efforts by US President Donald Trump, Modi has remained in touch with both Putin and Zelensky to emphasise the significance of dialogue and diplomacy between them to end the war.
