Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, September 8, 2024, Calcutta – Speculation is mounting regarding the purpose of India’s National Security Advisor, Ajit Doval’s, imminent visit to Russia. This visit comes on the heels of recent diplomatic activities aimed at addressing the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.
India has actively sought to mediate in the Ukraine-Russia conflict, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Ukraine marking a significant diplomatic move. During his visit, Modi conveyed a strong message advocating for peace and emphasized that war is not a viable solution to international disputes. Following this, India has consistently called for a resolution to the conflict and has emerged as a potential mediator on the global stage.
Ajit Doval’s visit to Russia is expected to include participation in the upcoming BRICS National Security Advisers (NSA) meeting. However, sources suggest that his presence might also be linked to behind-the-scenes negotiations or strategic discussions beyond the official BRICS agenda. The speculation is further fueled by recent high-level diplomatic exchanges, including a phone conversation between Prime Minister Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin last month.
As India continues its diplomatic efforts, Doval’s visit could play a crucial role in shaping the future dynamics of the conflict and India’s position as a mediator. The exact details of his mission remain under wraps, but the visit is anticipated to have significant implications for international relations and the ongoing peace efforts.
