Jaishankar raises Russia sanctions law concerns in talks with Rubio
India's foreign minister used a meeting with his US counterpart to flag New Delhi's reservations over American sanctions legislation targeting Russia.
India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar has conveyed New Delhi's concerns about United States sanctions law related to Russia during a meeting with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, signalling that the legislation remains a friction point in the bilateral relationship.
The discussions reflect India's long-standing unease over the potential impact of American secondary sanctions on its defence and energy ties with Moscow. New Delhi has consistently maintained that its engagement with Russia serves its own sovereign interests and should not be subject to third-party penalties.
The meeting underscores the complex balancing act India continues to navigate as it deepens its strategic partnership with Washington while preserving historic links with Russia.
