New Delhi: External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar held discussions with UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron on Saturday, addressing the evolving situation in West Asia. Additionally, the leaders deliberated on strengthening bilateral relations between India and the United Kingdom.
In a post on X, Jaishankar stated, “Spoke to UK Foreign Secretary Lord @David_Cameron today. Discussed the emerging situation in West Asia as also our bilateral ties.”
The talks between Jaishankar and Cameron came amid escalating tensions between Israel and Iran. Tensions have soared after Iran vowed to retaliate after an alleged Israeli strike near Iran’s embassy in the Syrian capital.
Earlier, amid the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel, the Ministry of External Affairs on Friday issued a travel advisory to Indian citizens and asked them to refrain from travelling to both countries until further notice. The ministry further asked people who are currently in Iran or Israel to contact Indian embassies and register themselves.
“In view of the prevailing situation in the region, all Indians are advised not to travel to Iran or Israel till further notice. All those who are currently residing in Iran or Israel are requested to get in touch with Indian Embassies there and register themselves,” the MEA said in an official release.
The ministry further urged the Indians residing in these two countries to take precautions for their safety.
