I have worked in the realm of international relations for literally decades. In the conduct of international relations, It is absolutely normal that we seek to explain our point of view and at times make sure our interlocutors come to share our point of view about issues. All this is done in an overt manner in the normal course of bilateral relations.
I expect to be démarched in this regard by foreign interlocutors. I have démarched foreign interlocutors, hoping they would come around to my point of view. Those are not the kinds of activities we are talking about, very clearly.
