At the 77th United Nations General Assembly session in New York, French President Emmanuel Macron praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s veiled criticism of Russia’s war in Ukraine, made during the latter’s face-to-face meeting with the Russian leader during the Shanghai Cooperation Summit in Samarkand last week.
“Narendra Modi, the Prime Minister of India was right when he said the time is not for war. It is not for revenge against the West, or for opposing the West against the east. It is the time for a collective time for our sovereign equal states. To cope together with challenges we face,” President Macron said.
