India’s Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman interacted with Chinese soldiers during her maiden visit to the Nathu LA border post in Sikkim. She was seen greeting them with a Namaste.
When she quizzed them as to what a namaste meant,the soldiers appeared confused. Some of the Indian soldiers tried to answer this question and come to the aid of their Chinese counterparts when one Chinese soldier with a smile on his face said that it meant ‘nice to meet you.’She then asked them how to say it in Chinese and the soldiers replied “Ni hao”.
