During her Myanmar visit earlier this month, during which she participated in her first multilateral event at the ASEAN Foreign Ministers meeting, the East Asia Summit Foreign Ministers Meeting and held seven bilateral meetings, the minister continued to follow up on evacuating Indians in Libya and Iraq.
"She has a more hands-on approach to issues (than her predecessor) and follows up on matters very keenly," an official, who has been with her, confided to IANS.
Known as a keen parliamentarian and a forceful debater, Sushma Swaraj, a former Leader of Opposition, has not let her foreign jaunts come in the way of her parliament participation. She had her visits specially timed for weekends so that she would be back to attend the session and not miss out on any of its working days.
