"What correct postures were to be made, I did exactly the same," External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee told CNN-IBN while talking about his meeting with Yang on Monday.

He said before having formal discussions with Yang in the presence of others, he had held one-to-one meeting for about half-an-hour with the Chinese Foreign Minister.

Mukherjee is understood to have conveyed India's unhappiness to Yang over China's moves at the NSG meeting in Vienna last week to block the waiver despite the Chinese leadership having promised not to create problems.
