00:30world to be focused on this. Of course, Latvia has its own sets of problems and issues which they

00:49and build more relations with India. And that's something which is really very nice because it's a

01:15terrorism, Pakistan, of course, being the leader, need to understand that time is up for terrorism and they

01:23must, they must, in their own interests, if I may use the expression, sudarom.
