New Delhi, 20th July. External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar held a telephone conversation with Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Friday to discuss advancing bilateral relations.

Jaishankar shared details of the discussion on X, stating, “A good conversation with FM @DmytroKuleba of Ukraine this afternoon. Spoke about further developing our bilateral relationship.”

Kuleba echoed these sentiments, referencing his recent visit to New Delhi and prior meetings between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
