EAM further added, “We try to explain what are the different pulls and pressures that countries have. it’s very hard to have that unidimensional relationship.”
“I do not want you, even inadvertently, to give the impression that we are purely and unsentimentally transactional. We are not. We get along with people, we believe in things, we share things, but there are times when you are located in different places, different levels of development, different experiences, all of that gets into it,” Jaishankar added.
