what skill is really needed in "achieving consensus"? Nothing more than "there won't be a joint declaration if you don't water down the wording". If Modi did say so, this guy would not have bothered to make the post, he would even attack Modi for doing so.

A small plane carrying eight people crashed into a residential area of Colombia's second-largest city Medellin on Monday, killing all on board, airport authorities said.
The aircraft took off from the Olaya Herrera airport in the morning and reported an engine failure before crashing into a house, sending thick plumes of black smoke into the air.
The airport's Twitter account reported that the eight people in the plane, including six passengers and two crew, had been reported as "fatalities."
There was no indication if anyone had been injured or killed in the house.

Over 60 people have been killed in an earthquake that rattled Indonesia's main island Java on Monday with officials warning that the death toll could rise.
Indonesia's National Agency for Disaster Countermeasure(BNPB) confirmed 62 deaths from the quake, whose epicenter was the town of Cianjur, about 75 km southeast of the capital, Jakarta.
The BNPB also said up to 700 people had been injured in the quake.
The quake has also caused heavy damage to hundreds of houses, buildings and infrastructure facilities.
The BNPB said that more than 300 homes were damaged or destroyed, and as many as 5,389 displaced residents were scattered at several points.
The quake struck at 13:21 Jakarta time (0621 GMT) with the epicenter located at 10 km southwest of Cianjur in West Java province, and with a depth of 10 km, the meteorology, climatology and geophysics agency said.

Kazakh President Tokayev wins re-election with 81.3% of vote

Kazakhstan's incumbent president Kassym-Jomart Tokayev secured a second term in Sunday's snap election, winning 81.31 percent of the vote, the central Asian nation's Central Election Commission said on Monday, citing preliminary data.
He had been widely expected to extend his rule over the oil-rich nation by seven more years with a strong mandate to continue his increasingly independent foreign policy.
"We can say that the people have expressed convincing confidence in me as president and all of you," Tokayev, 69, had told his staff earlier, referring to exit polls that favored him.
The campaign would "go down in history," the former diplomat added.
Voter turnout was 69.44 percent, with five other candidates scoring in the low single digits, data showed. Voters' second most popular choice was "against everyone," which got 5.8 percent of ballots.
Prompted by the exit polls, several fellow central Asian leaders congratulated Tokayev on Monday before the preliminary results.
Tokayev won his first election in 2019 with the backing of predecessor Nursultan Nazarbayev, but the two fell out this year amid violent unrest in the nation of 20 million, and Sunday's vote consolidated his power as an independent leader.
