CHANDIGARH: Few can claim to have witnessed former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's journey from a young UN delegate to India's top office as close as Inderjit Singh Chadha, former Indian Foreign Service officer and ambassador, did with an association that spans nearly six decades.
Just months older than Singh, Chadha first met him in 1965 at the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.

"This is from where he started his international career."
