Quotes
Dinesh Trivedi
Indian High Commissioner to Bangladesh
“I am not a diplomat. It's like people's representative to people's representative. I am very delighted that we have met. I didn't feel that I met him for the first time. Very good, very humble, on the ground, what will be the discussion -- people-to-people relations.”
