Doklam blown out of proportion
Context
India’s Ambassador to China Gautam Bambawale has called for a new phase of dialogue between the countries to foster a stronger post-Doklam “partnership.” In an interview to the Global Times , ahead of the Republic Day, he said the stand-off last year should be viewed in a historical perspective.
A Single event
- When you do so, it is just one event in a much longer-term history
- The people of India and China and our leaders are experienced enough and wise enough to overcome such momentary hurdles in our relationship
- Without making a specific reference to the Doklam standoff, which India says was rooted in China’s attempt to build a road in a disputed India-China-Bhutan border tri-junction area
