New Delhi: The ongoing conflict in West Asia has been a 'testing time' not just for India, but the entire global community, said MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal.
The conflict, which entered its 20th day on Thursday, has seen the US-Israel combine launch military strikes on Iran, prompting Tehran to target Gulf countries hosting US military bases.
MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said India continues to remain in touch with concerned countries to ensure its energy security needs are met.
He added that India's diplomatic efforts continue, and the country is committed to taking care of its interests, including the well-being and safety of Indian nationals and diaspora in the region.
Additional Secretary, Ministry of External Affairs, Aseem R Mahajan, said the MEA continues to closely monitor the developments in the Gulf, West Asia region.
