PM Modi is chairing a crucial meeting at his office in Parliament.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi chaired a high-level meeting at his office in Parliament, with senior members of his government, including Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Foreign Minister S Jaishankar, and Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman present.
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval were also present, as were Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, Shipping Minister Sarbananda Sonowal, and Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal.
Sources told The Indian Express the meeting is about the conflict and crisis in West Asia, where the United States’ war on Iran continues to impact India’s energy security.
An estimated 40 per cent of the country’s crude oil and around 60 per cent of its liquified natural gas, or LNG, imports are from West Asia. These are shipped via the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow maritime passageway that Iran has all but shut down during the war with the United States.
