Making a statement in New Delhi on Monday the External Affairs Minister S M Krishna called upon all stake holders to abjure use of force and resolve their differences through peaceful means.
Mr. Krishna pleaded for a dialogue with United Nations and other regional organisations for the settlement of the issue. India yesterday hoped that the air strikes would not harm innocent civilians, foreign nationals and diplomatic missions and their personnel, who are still in Libya.
On the prevailing situation in the Arab world Mr. Krishna said that India is closely monitoring the situation and the welfare of Indians working in the region is upper most in the agenda and necessary follow up action will be taken as and when required.
