India, which is the land of Mahatma Gandhi, has also been an advocate of peace. We always want to give peace a chance and promote it through diplomacy and negotiations, Sudhir added.  

Conflicts always come at a high price. Russia-Ukraine conflict has had an adverse impact on several countries, which are not even a part of it. It has led to the issue of food security and breakdown in supply chains. Several economies have also been impacted adversely. So, it is time to look for sustainable peace, he added.
