"I suppose you are referring to the agreements during the high-level meeting third day running, chaired by the Prime Minister and attended by the civilian foreign affairs team and the establishment's foreign affairs team and the..."
"What do mean civilian and establishment foreign affairs team?"

"And do you recall what happened on the fourth day as per Genesis. God created day and night."
"And stars, don't forget the stars, but there was no meeting on the fourth day and you should recall that on the third day God created vegetation/food..."
"Ah that is certainly the natural stop for Mian sahib."
