BENAULIM (GOA): A cool but no-nonsense person, India’s External Affairs minister Dr S Jaishankar needs no words to express his feelings.
The former Indian Foreign Services member comes with strong body language that conveys his feelings, politely yet curtly.
It was no different at the SCO Council of Foreign Ministers’ meeting in Goa, as he snubbed Bilawal Bhutto Zardari while warmly greeting other Foreign ministers.
