In conversation with Salman Khurshid | Former two-time VP of India M. Hamid Ansari

In this episode of In Conversation with Salman Khurshid, former two-time Vice President of India, M. Hamid Ansari joins Salman Khurshid, Former External Affairs minister of India, for a candid chat on how geo-politics and diplomacy have evolved over the last four decades.

Ansari explains why Russia is justified in its stand against Ukraine’s NATO membership ambitions. Regarding India-China relations, he’s of the opinion that India misjudged China in the late 50s when Chinese Premier Zhou Enlai visited India to seek a solution to India-China disputes but was rebuffed by top Indian leaders of that time; this eventually led to the India-China war of 1962.
