On Nov 26, 2008, Pakistan's then Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi was visiting India when news broke that 10 terrorists from Karachi in Pakistan were attacking different locations in India's financial capital, Mumbai.
Mr Qureshi did not cut short his visit as expected. Instead, he went on to address the Indian Women's Press Club in Delhi. Halfway through the session, he got up, saying he had to take an urgent call. He came back in a sober mood and soon after left the club, flying back to Pakistan the same day.
