00:00What is the policy of an American administration towards China is either for the Americans
00:08to explain or the Chinese to comment. It's not for me publicly to take a position on
00:14it. Dealing with the world, we obviously reflect on various developments. What I can say, as
00:24someone who's come here, interacted with, you know, the, the key foreign policy figures
00:32of the administration, certainly, is the positive sentiment they have for our country and for
00:37our relationship. But beyond that, you know, another bilateral relationship for me to comment
00:42I publicly I don't think really would be would be appropriate.
00:46How do you read the China policy? I know it's only two or three days, given the fact that
00:52President Trump has gone beyond what the US law says on TikTok, gone against the US
01:01Supreme Court judgment and wants to cut a deal on TikTok. Does it tell you that he is
01:11willing to sort of overlook national security concerns? So what's your read so far on China
01:20policy? Because from India's point of view, that would be an important policy, right?
01:26How he takes it to itself?
01:29So Seema, let me respond to your question. I mean, look, what is the policy of an American
01:39administration towards China is either for the Americans to explain or the Chinese to
01:45comment. It's not for me publicly to take a position on it. I'm obviously, you know,
01:52dealing with the world. We obviously, you know, reflect on various developments. What
02:00I can say, you know, as someone who's come here, interacted with, you know, the, the
02:08key foreign policy figures of the administration, certainly, is the positive sentiment they
02:13have for our country and for our relationship. If you ask me, okay, go beyond that. The bit
02:20I can share with you is, you know, what we discussed during the court. And during the
02:24court, the sentiment was very clear that, you know, the Indo-Pacific is a very crucial
02:29region, that it's important that there is stability there, there is security there,
02:38there is respect for law. So, I think, you know, some of it, it was very succinctly captured
02:46in that statement, which was there. So, but beyond that, you know, another bilateral relationship
02:52for me to comment publicly, I don't think really would be, would be appropriate.
