India attended the Opening and Closing Plenary Sessions of the Summit but did not align itself with any communique or document that emerged. This highlights India’s consistent and independent approach to achieving a peaceful resolution to the conflict through dialogue and diplomacy.

India advocates for sincere and practical engagement between the conflicting parties, emphasizing that dialogue and diplomacy are crucial for achieving lasting peace.
India remains engaged with all stakeholders and both parties involved in the conflict, actively contributing to efforts aimed at establishing early and enduring peace.
