PM Modi warns West Asia conflict disrupts fuel fertilizer food
At the G-7 summit in France, Prime Minister Modi raised concerns about the ongoing West Asia conflict, saying it's not just a regional problem: it's messing with global supplies of fuel, fertilizer, and food.
He pointed out that developing countries are being impacted by these shortages and disruptions.
Modi calls on global financial institutions
Modi called on global financial institutions to step up and help vulnerable nations deal with these shocks, emphasizing they "should not be left to bear the burden of crises alone."
Later at the summit, he's set to meet US President Trump on the sidelines of the summit; the two leaders had already briefly interacted earlier at the gathering — their first face-to-face meeting in 16 months, and are likely to discuss trade issues and how to handle the crisis in West Asia after recent tensions involving Indian sailors.
