New Delhi: Hours after US President Donald Trump claimed that Prime Minister Narendra Modi assured him not to buy Russian oil, the Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement. The MEA said it is the government's priority to "safeguard the interests" of Indians.

"India is a significant importer of oil and gas. It has been our consistent priority to safeguard the interests of the Indian consumer in a volatile energy scenario. Our import policies are guided entirely by this objective," the MEA said in a statement.

"Ensuring stable energy prices and secured supplies have been the twin goals of our energy policy. This includes broad-basing our energy sourcing and diversifying as appropriate to meet market conditions," the statement added.
