Dear Nitin,
I found the transcript of your interview with Dr. Tharoor very informative and look forward to your publication of the second in this series.
I am a NRI and an Australian citizen since 1967, living in the Sydney region of Australia and would be interested in similar “gems” with a focus on ASEAN or Asia Pacific nations. I am interested in transcripts of interviews where Australia may has been included in deliberations of “Round Table Conferences” such as described by Dr. Tharoor. Themes covering Indian public diplomacy and relationship building with Australia across the sectors of education, cultural exchange and Information Technology collaboration would be appreciated.
Kind regards,
Peter Brown.
