I'm open to talks with everybody. I extend an open invitation to all individuals and groups in J&K who are willing to engage in a dialogue. Though I will be based in Delhi, I plan to frequently visit the state for talks, starting some time next week. Let me see how positive change can be brought in Kashmir through talks. FEEDBACK

Isn't it great that we now have the first woman ambassador from the United States. FEEDBACK

It's in our interest to take her in and embrace her, and have her become, in a sense, our best advocate. FEEDBACK
