Diplomacy is multilayered effort.
All that you have listed are elements of a coherent approach. 🙏🏽
Some clarity please, @Geeta_Mohan:
@PMOIndia says 370 is an internal matter
@MEAIndia says #Kashmir’s a bilat issue
@AkbaruddinIndia told UN that India acknowledges Simla Agreement
@rajnathsingh wants ‘PoK’, which brings us back to 47/48 CFL warpath
So what’s it going to be?

1. It was about Climate Action.
2. It was a 1st of its kind.
3. It was India's gift.
