This is the first time that India's top leadership has given positive signals regarding the ongoing trade talks with the US.

We welcomed the release of hostages and the delivery of humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza. We also reiterated that terrorism in any form and anywhere cannot be accepted."
Prime Minister Modi had already issued a message on Instagram welcoming the Gaza Peace Agreement before these talks. He wrote, "We welcome the agreement on Phase 1 of President Trump's peace plan. It reflects PM Netanyahu's strong leadership. We are hopeful that the release of hostages and increased humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza will bring relief to them and pave the way for lasting peace."

Stability in West Asia is important for India in many ways. Nearly 10 million Indians work in the region. India has strategic relations with many countries, and a large portion of its oil and gas imports come from these countries. Therefore, peace in the region is considered beneficial for India not only economically but also for diplomatic balance.
