It's a dramatic reset, I would say, because I know for a fact that even until about 3 to 4 months ago, the prime minister of India, Mr.. Modi, he was very categorical. I know when he'd meet people about how laid down he had felt by Russia, by China, and by Xi Jinping in particular, because remember that you go back to a few years ago and the Prime Minister Modi was trying his best to sort of forge a very close relationship ...
