Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has categorically said that India does not and will never accept US mediation to resolve issues between India and Pakistan.

In a telephone conversation, Indian PM said that discussion to cease military action took place directly between India and Pakistan through the existing channels of communications between the two armed forces, and it was initiated at Pakistan’s request. 

According to a statement issued by Ministry of External Affairs, PM Modi clearly conveyed to President Trump that no point during this entire sequence of events was there any discussions, at any level, on an India-U. S trade deal, or any proposal for a mediation by the U.S between India and Pakistan.

The readout from Indian side says: “Prime Minister Modi firmly stated that India does not and will never accept mediation. There is complete political consensus in India on this matter.”

Earlier, Trump had claimed that India and Pakistan agreed for the ceasefire after he threatened to stop the trade with both countries, and India is outright denial from India. 

“With regard to the Indo-Pacific region, both leaders shared their perspectives and expressed their support towards the significant role of QUAD in the region.

Prime Minister Modi extended an invitation to President Trump to visit India for the next QUAD Summit. President Trump accepted the invitation and said that he is looking forward to visiting India,” the statement says.
