While India condemns acts of terrorism, any response to the October 7 terror attacks must take into account international humanitarian law, Jaishankar said at a meeting with his Saudi counterpart Prince Faisal bin Farhan.
Describing Saudi Arabia as an "important force for stability" in West Asia, he said in his opening remarks: "The situation in West Asia is a matter of deep concern, particularly the conflict in Gaza."
Pointing to India's principled and consistent position on the conflict, he said, "While we condemn acts of terrorism and hostage-taking, we are deeply pained by the continuing death of innocent civilians. Any response must take into account the international humanitarian law. We support an early ceasefire."
