| Minor irritants can be resolved through Sino-India talks | | | Will India be able to promote cordial ties with China? Well there are some irritants that have soiled the relations between Beijing and New Delhi. And despite the fact that Pakistan is opposed to strong ties between India and China for selfish interests India's Foreign secretary, Vijay Gokhle, has been in Beijing recently on a mission which he believes could turn the tide in the frosty relations between the two sides. As normal to the Chinese leaders they have remained non-commital about China's stand on various issues, including Doklam, Arunachal Pradesh an d border belts of Ladakh. But the two sides indicated their concern over the cold ties which may not be of any purpose to the two countries. The two sides noted the need to build on the convergencies between India and China and address differences on the basis of mutual respect and sensitivity to each other's concerns, interests and aspirations. Both sides underlined that as two major countries, sound development of relations between India and China is a factor of stability in the world today. It is a report circulated by the Ministry of External Affairs
Interestingly, the Foreign Secretary was in Beijing just as the global watchdog FATF (Financial Action Task Force), in its plenary meet in Paris, arrived at a consensus to grey-list Pakistan for financing terror. The consensus was arrived at after last-minute hectic parleys in Delhi, Beijing and Moscow by Indians and American diplomats. It helped win the approval of China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey for action against Pakistan.
However, One Belt One Road, India's membership to NSG (Nuclear Suppliers Group), Chinese veto support to Pakistani terror masterminds at the Security Council and Tibetan spiritual guru Dalai Lama are among the major sticking points in the ties. All these issues may once again prop up during the proposed meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and PM Narendra Modi in 'informal settings' this year for frank talks. Will Prime Minister, Modi, set the stage for cordial relations between China and India? This question continues to bother New Delhi more than Beijing because latter believes that China is a developed nation and is one among super powers and the former believes that it is developing nation and may emerge a super power within next one decade.
China has never been friendly towards India and the Hindi-Chini Bhai Bhai has become part of history. And since 1959 which was followed by war between India and China in 1962 China has taken a tough stand against India. It has cultivated Pakistan and a friend of an enemy of a nation is the biggest enemy of India. But there are issues that have bedeviled relations between India and China but these issues can be settled through bilateral talks. And India has not imposed any preconditions to China for the resumption of process dialogue as it had done in the case of Pakistan which continues to export terror to India. There is no such problem from China because China is scared of the rise of terrorists in Xinxiang and that could be the reason for supporting the FATF under which Pakistan may come up for criticism and end to financial support for its main sin of supporting terror groups. Hence if relations between India and Pakistan have been soiled it is because of the Kashmir issue and there is no such issue between China and India though Chinese claim on Arunachal Pradesh is not supported by any document or map. Hence these issues can be sorted out through talks. But will bilateral talks promote cordial ties? Its answer lies with Beijing. |
