Sir, this is a very important question, and Mr Jaishankar should have been present here. I saw in the papers that he had gone on a six-day visit to Australia. He is new to this system, you please advise him to be present while the Parliament session is on, so that we can get proper replies from the Minister.

Minister, would you please tell us, what was the broad regional consensus? [Was there] just talk or [was there] some concrete action?
