Modi-Xi summit expected to give a strategic push to ties
Context
Resetting ties with China
What has happened?
Chinese President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will hold a two-day informal summit from April 27 in Wuhan, to impart firm strategic direction to Beijing-New Delhi ties, amid profound changes in the global system
Key points
- The expected re-set after last year’s Doklam standoff comes amid a larger conversation within Asia on the need to realign ties with Beijing in view of the growing protectionism in the United States
- Set the general course, identify new goals and create a new dynamic for the growth of China-India relations
- China and India had overlapping interests in South Asia, the Indian Ocean and the Indo-Pacific. There was therefore an urgency to align our world views through a broader across-the-board dialogue
Main themes
Two broad themes:
- A final settlement of the India-China boundary, and collaboration between India and China for the fruitful emergence of an “Asian century.”
