Doval's Extended Moscow Visit for Peace Talks

NSA Ajit Doval is set to visit Russia from September 10-12 for a BRICS National Security Advisors meeting, aiming to discuss the Russia-Ukraine conflict and potential peace initiatives. This visit follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visits to both Russia and Ukraine, where he expressed India's willingness to support diplomatic efforts to end the war. PM Modi and other global leaders, including Putin and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni, have highlighted India's potential role as a mediator. Doval is expected to hold bilateral meetings with his Russian and Chinese counterparts and convey India's 'special ideas' for peace. The BRICS meeting will also address broader security issues, including terrorism. Doval's visit underscores India's strategic position and its ongoing efforts to facilitate dialogue and conflict resolution.
