Giving insight into the diplomacy involved in the ever-changing geo-political dynamics of the world, External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar divulged the intricacies of diplomacy, to "keep communications lines open" during the time of hostilities between the nations. At a lively discussion with Michael Fullilove, Executive Director of the Lowy Institute in Sydney on Tuesday, Jaishankar stressed the fundamental essentials of diplomacy. Speaking on the relationship between Canberra and Beijing, as well as, on Kyiv and Moscow, he gave the example of how India diplomatically handled the relationship between India and China, he said, "We had two and half very difficult years of relationship with China (Galwan clash) which has included the first bloodshed we had on the border after 40 years. We lost 20 soldiers but our endeavour, my endeavour has been to keep the communication lines going, in fact, the morning after that I called up my counterpart Wang Yi and urged him to ensure that there are no escalatory moves, complicating moves by the Chinese side." "For me, diplomacy is about communication, if diplomats do not communicate with each other then what kind of diplomacy do they do? We have another neighbour with whom we have a very difficult relationship (Pakistan) but at the end of the day countries have to deal with each other and you have to find some way of keeping that going," he added
