Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is coming to India on a visit. He will discuss the border dispute and bilateral relations with NSA Ajit Doval. The visit is considered a diplomatic preparation before PM Modi's visit to China.
New Delhi: Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi will visit India next week. His visit is specifically aimed at resolving the border dispute and improving bilateral relations. This move is being seen as a diplomatic preparation ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit later this month.
Meeting with National Security Advisor
During his visit, Wang Yi will meet with India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. The main focus of this meeting will be to discuss the long-standing border issues between India and China under the Special Representative Mechanism. This is considered an important step towards resolving the border dispute between the two countries.
Diplomatic Preparation Before Modi's China Visit
Prime Minister Modi will attend the SCO summit in Tianjin, China, later this month. Wang Yi's visit to India is being seen as a diplomatic preparation for this. This visit will help to streamline discussions between the two countries and pave the way for potential agreements.
Impact on US-India-China Relations
Some experts believe that recent statements by US President Donald Trump have influenced India. This may force India to reconsider its strategy. If India extends a hand of friendship towards China, it would be considered a significant shift in foreign policy.
According to former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, enmity with the US is serious, and friendship is fatal. In this context, improving relations with China would be a strategic and wise move for India.
Global Perspective
Looking at the world map, Russia, China, and India are large countries in the world. If these three countries cooperate strategically and economically, a new structure could emerge in global politics. This is also important for regional and global balance.
Impact of US-China Trade Agreement
The US has extended the deadline for a trade agreement with China by 90 days. This has averted a potential clash between the two largest economies. The US had imposed an additional 25% tariff on India, saying that India was buying oil from Russia. However, China is the largest oil buyer from Russia.
Extending the deadline has given both countries time to resolve their differences. It is possible that this will clear the way for a summit between Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping later this year. Companies in the US that trade with China have also welcomed this decision.
