EAM Sushma Swaraj's first presser since she took over as a union minister:  "Our tenure has been full of challenges but we faced those challenges and moved forward," she says. Swaraj announces she will be going to Afghanistan in a few days.

This is the foreign ministry's three-month report card. 

Quick takes:

-- India has begun a look-east policy.
-- Pakistan's acceptance of our invite to the PM's swearing in was veryimportant.
-- India covered four SAARC nations in three months.
-- Repatriation of dead bodies from abroad will be facilitated by a website.
-- Told US, you call us a friend and spy on us.
-- Introduce better passport services to all north-eastern states.
-- Passport Sewa Camps will be opened in the North East
-- Sushma Swaraj says the ministry worked with pro-activeness and conveyed a strong message to various nations which shows that our Govt is strong. But Govt is also sensitive. We evacuated many people from Iraq and Libya, many were provided tickets from the embassy.
