"Realism characterised his decisions... we saw it how he transformed the relations with the United States. Also, at a time when international relations were undergoing a shift, there was a steadiness in the India-Russia relations during his tenure," said S Jaishankar as he presided over the third Atal Bihari Vajpayee memorial lecture that was delivered by former Singaporean diplomat Bilahari Kausikan in New Delhi.
