French president Emmanuel Macron said, "Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India was right when he said the time is not for war.

To cope together with challenges we face."

 

 

 

 

 

US's National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan in a White House statement said, "I think what Prime Minister Modi said -- a statement of principle on behalf of what he believes is right and just -- was very much welcomed by the United States and for the Indian leadership, which has longstanding relationships in Moscow, from the very top all the way through the Russian government, to continue to reinforce that message that now is the time for the war to end".

 

Besides, PM Modi's statement became popular and was praised by the international media as well.
