Let’s simply return and keep in mind India is an independently minded sovereign with its personal civilisation. It makes its personal selections…There is no means that India goes to completely put its toes, one facet or the opposite, of a line, and particularly not when it appears to be like at what’s occurred to Russia, which is actually a type of financial conquest by China,” he stated.
