Three Indian nationals, rescued from the commercial vessel MV Royad Mammadov that came under attack in the Black Sea on Monday, have departed for India, the Embassy of India in Bucharest said on Saturday (local time).
The development follows an attack on MV Royad Mammadov in the Black Sea on Monday, in which two foreign seafarers were killed and some crew members, including the three Indians, were injured.
It also expressed gratitude to the Romanian authorities, Constanța County Hospital and Romanian rescue teams for their assistance in the operation and subsequent arrangements. The Embassy representative also met local police authorities, the shipping company’s agent and treating medical doctors to coordinate further assistance. “The targeting of traffic in international waterways is severely undermining global commerce and the welfare of people across the world.
“We express our sincere gratitude to the Romanian authorities, Constanța County Hospital, and the Romanian rescue teams for their invaluable assistance, cooperation, and support,” the Embassy added. The ministry said attacks on international shipping routes posed serious risks to global commerce and the welfare of people worldwide, reiterating India’s call for “dialogue and diplomacy” to end ongoing conflicts. We continue to call for dialogue and diplomacy to bring an end to the ongoing conflicts,” the MEA said.
