Will Russian Oil Imports Be Cut? Foreign Ministry Reiterates Old Stand
India has a strategy to diversify energy purchases to meet the needs of 1.4 billion people, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said in a press briefing today.
The US wants India to stop buying oil from Russia. In this context, India said the country's energy security needs come on top priority over anything else.
"Insofar as India's energy sourcing is concerned, the government has stated publicly on several occasions that ensuring the energy security of 1.4 billion Indians is the supreme priority of the government," MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.
