Visiting Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Emine Dzhaparova on Monday called on India to be pragmatic by diversifying its political interactions, and energy and military resources. Dzhaparova, a rare political visitor from Ukraine, was on Sunday speaking to the media after a meeting with MEA’s Secretary (West) Sanjay Verma.
“We only think that it’s crucial to diversify resources, not only energy, but military resources because what we see in my country (is that) when you are dependent on Russia, they will blackmail,” she added.
“Discussed bilateral engagements and cooperation going forward. Wishing her a good trip. Her first as DFM, but a country she is familiar with,” tweeted Verma.
