He further said that they've blocked connectivity between India and Afghanistan. "I think until we address that problem, this challenge of how do you have a normal relationship with this very unique neighbour, is a very troubling issue for our foreign policy," Jaishankar added.
While talking about China, Jaishankar said, "As 2 neighbouring countries who've built a relationship painstakingly, there were political issues of difference, issues on their relationship with Pakistan, major trade issues - a whole set of issues.
"We've been engaging and talking to them over many years, Jaishankar said.
"The point which we are grappling with is, if you have a very major neighbour with which you have issues, you have been talking all along - why this change, to deal with the emerging situation that rises there out?" the External Affairs Minister said.
