India said on Monday it had no plans to use Venezuela’s local cryptocurrency ‘PETRO’ in oil trade with the Latin American nation, which is facing sanctions from the United States. Responding to a question at a news conference, India’s External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj cited an order by the country’s central bank saying it did not allow trade using cryptocurrency.

Swaraj told that India abides by sanctions imposed by the United Nations and not those imposed by any other country, such as ones announced by the United States against Iran.

She made a statement saying,

“India follows only UN sanctions, and not unilateral sanctions by any country,”
