New Delhi: India on Tuesday said it welcomed reports of a ceasefire and the “role played by the US and Qatar in bringing it about”. Citing concerns about the prospects for overall and sustained regional security and stability, India said it was ready to play its part in these efforts.

“We wish to reiterate that there is no alternative to dialogue and diplomacy in order to address and resolve the multiple conflicts in the region,” New Delhi said.
