Sitharaman also hosted a dinner for the FMs and governors on Wednesday night, besides hosting an informal breakfast for the FMs on Thursday morning.
The first meeting of the FMs and the governors in Bengaluru had failed to come up with a joint communique owing to differences between the West on one hand and Russia and China on the other on the war in Ukraine. India had then released a chair’s summary and outcome statement on the deliberations. Source: HT
