India has strongly condemned the recent military attacks on commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for its energy and economic security. During a meeting of the United Nations Security Council, India's Deputy Permanent Representative Yojna Patel stated, “Commercial shipping must not be the target of military attacks, and such attempts are deplorable.” Patel highlighted India's co-sponsorship of UN Security Council resolution 2817, adopted on March 11, which condemned Iran's aggressive actions against its Middle Eastern neighbors. She noted that these attacks have resulted in the deaths of at least three Indian sailors and have endangered the safety of shipping in the region. Patel emphasized the importance of unimpeded shipping through the Strait, as it connects India to vital trade and energy supply routes. She reiterated that the safety of nearly 10 million Indians living in the Gulf region is a key priority for India. Furthermore, Patel called for dialogue and diplomacy to de-escalate tensions, stressing that the Middle East is a proximate neighborhood with significant stakes for India.
