External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Friday said it is “unrealistic” for a third party to insert themselves or to offer to do something if two countries are not prepared for it.
Jaishankar was speaking during a panel discussion of an event hosted by a think tank here, when he was asked a specific question about a possible role India can play in easing the situation in the middle east with reference to the latest attack by Israel on Iran.
“What can India do? We are a country which has good relations with both Israel and Iran. We have issued a statement, as indeed, have many other countries, about what’s going on. But, I do eventually put it to you that in any situation, not just this one, ultimately, it is very much for the parties involved to make up their minds,” the minister said. PTI
