Bhopal: External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Thursday promised to assist in bringing back the body of a woman from Madhya Pradesh who recently died in Thailand while she was on a professional assignment there.

"Our Embassy @IndiainThailand is in touch with the bereaved family and is providing all assistance in this difficult time," Jaishankar tweeted.
