S. Jaishankar met Annalena Baerbock to discuss the escalating West Asia conflict and its global implications, particularly the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Both sides emphasised the urgent need for a ceasefire and a peaceful resolution under the United Nations framework. The disruption threatens global trade and energy supplies, with India heavily reliant on oil and gas shipments through the strait. Baerbock warned of rising oil and fertiliser prices and broader instability affecting regions like Gaza and Lebanon. The meeting also touched on UN reforms and the need for more representative global governance structures.
