Sharm el-Sheikh Summit: India Sends Envoy to Peace Talks
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has decided not to attend the Sharm El-Sheikh peace summit personally, but has nominated Union Minister of State Kirti Vardhan Singh to represent India at the gathering in Egypt. The summit, co-hosted by U.S. President Donald Trump and Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, will bring together some 20 global leaders to address the Gaza conflict. Singh has already reached Cairo in his capacity as the Prime Minister’s special envoy. India’s participation signals its willingness to be part of international efforts toward lasting peace in the Middle East, particularly at a time when a recent ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is under discussion and humanitarian corridors are being considered.
