China says ties with India continue to grow
Context:
- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed that China was keen to forge closer India-China ties, cemented by a focus on greater dialogue-based on “mutual trust”.
Rebuilding India and China ties:
- A spate of track-1 meetings is now in the pipeline, including the China-India strategic economic dialogue.
- Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed that “more far-sighted leaders” have come to realise that as the largest two developing countries each with a population of more than a billion, must do everything to empathise with and support each other and avoid mutual suspicion and attrition.
- New Delhi and Beijing must focus on building “mutual trust,” which would be the key for the further advancement of the relationship.
Way ahead:
- There is a need to replace suspicion with trust, manage differences with dialogue and build a future with cooperation.
- Mr. Wang dismissed the “Indo-Pacific” strategy, which included the formation of the quad grouping of India, Japan, Australia and the U.S. as “froth in the Pacific and Indian Oceans”
