India Vows 'Necessary Measures' to Protect Economic Interests After US Passes Russia Sanctions Bill
New Delhi says it has clearly conveyed to Washington the potential implications of the legislation for bilateral relations.
India has said it will take "all necessary measures" to safeguard its economic interests following the passage of a Russia sanctions bill by the United States, according to a statement from New Delhi reported by Anadolu Agency.
Indian officials said the potential implications of the sanctions legislation on bilateral relations between India and the United States were "very clearly articulated" to the American side, the news agency reported.
The statement did not provide further details on the specific measures India might pursue in response to the bill, nor did it elaborate on the exact provisions of the US legislation.
Anadolu Agency's report indicates that New Delhi's comments reflect concern over how the sanctions measure could affect its economic and diplomatic ties with Washington.
India has previously maintained trade and energy relationships with Russia even as Western nations have imposed sanctions on Moscow following its invasion of Ukraine, a stance that has at times drawn scrutiny from US lawmakers and officials.
No further comment from US officials was included in the available report at the time of publication.
