The Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi used his first conversation with US President Donald Trump since the early May conflict between India and Pakistan to express his frustration about Trump's repeated claims that he played a significant role in the mediation of an armistice between the two nuclear armed countries.
“Prime Minister Modi stated that India in India will not accept mediation on this matter and will never accept mediation,” said Foreign Minister Vikram Misri in a statement.
During a telephone call between the two guides, Modi Trump clearly “” clearly “the United States did not play a role in mediation between India and Pakistan, and played any discussion of a trade agreement, said Misri.
The 35-minute call was initiated by Trump, he added.
The white house did not deliver a separate display of the call.
The two guides recently spoke in early May after a terrorist attack by Islamist militants in the Indian controlled region of Kaschmir killed 26 civilians.
India reacted with a bomb attack on act in Pakistan, which led to a four -day conflict that threatened to explode into a broader war that was driven by decades of tensions between the two countries.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that the United States played an important role in the final de-escalation of tensions between Islamabad and New Delhi.
“I stopped the war between Pakistan and India,” said Trump on Wednesday in front of the White House, where he called Modi “a fantastic man”.
Trump recently compared the current conflict between Israel and Iran with the India Pakistan conflict of the last month. Trump said on Sunday that Israel and Iran should make a deal “just like I have to do India and Pakistan”.
The strict tone of India's statement on Wednesday was probably partially due to Trump's decision to house the Pakistan's head of the army for lunch in the White House.
Trump said reporters in the White House that the lunch should “thank him for not going to war” and to discuss a potential trade agreement with the country.
The president has also advertised obvious progress in a trade agreement with India.
Trump and Modi should personally meet this week at the G7 summit in Canada. But Trump left a day earlier when the White House said that he had completed the trip due to tensions in the Middle East.
