Indian PM urged to influence Russia to stop war in Ukraine
The Anews reported, citing the Associated Press, Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen on Tuesday (May 3) urged her visiting Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, to try to influence Russia to end the war in Ukraine.
Frederiksen said,: "Putin has to stop this war," adding immediately, "I hope that India will influence Russia."
India's neutral stance in the war has raised concerns in the West and earned praise from Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who lauded India for judging "the situation in its entirety, not just in a one-sided way."
At the start of Modi's two-day visit to the Scandinavian country, Denmark and India signed several bilateral agreements focused on green energy and clean water.
Later Tuesday, Modi is to attend a banquet in his honor with Queen Margrethe, Denmark's figurehead monarch, at the downtown Amalienborg Palace. On Wednesday, Modi will attend an Indo-Nordic Summit in Copenhagen and also hold separate bilateral talks with the leaders of Sweden, Norway, Iceland and Finland.
It was the first visit by an Indian leader to Denmark in 20 years.
