The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) and the Union Cabinet is scheduled to be held on Thursday. Today's meeting is expected to start at 6:30 pm.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Narendra Modi praised the "rich level of debate" in the Lok Sabha on the Ukraine situation and the evacuation of Indian citizens through Operation Ganga on Wednesday, saying that there is bipartisanship on foreign policy issues, which bodes well for India on the international stage. Four union ministers - Hardeep Singh Puri, Kiren Rijiju, Jyotiraditya Scindia, and Gen VK Singh - took part in the debate as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's special envoys to Ukraine's neighbouring countries during the evacuation operation.
Members of Congress discussed the importance of non-alignment principles in the difficult geopolitical context generated by the Ukraine-Russia issue.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar said in his response to the debate that India is "first and foremost" opposed to the conflict. He stated that no solution can be found via the shedding of blood or at the expense of innocent lives, and that in this day and age, communication and diplomacy are the best ways to resolve any conflict.
The minister said, the current global order is based on the UN Charter, international law, and all states' sovereignty and territorial integrity. "If India has taken a stand, it is in favour of peace and the quick cessation of war. This is our principled position, which has guided our posture in international forums and debates, including at the United Nations "Jaishankar expressed his thoughts.
