Event Description : Ananta Aspen Centre presents "India and China: A New Engagement" panel discussion.

India and China currently are more politically and economically engaged than at any time in recent history. However, the road leading to a mutually beneficial bilateral tie between the two Asian giants is not smooth. Many strategic issues including China’s role in Pakistan’s nuclear capability, border dispute and China’s repeated territorial claims still cast a shadow on a sound India – China relations. In this backdrop, enormous importance is being attached to the expected India visit of Chinese President Xi Jinping in the third week of September, especially in the light of his first interaction with the new leadership and government of India. So far both New Delhi and Beijing have shown commitment in mitigating recurring tension in the relationship. This visit is an excellent opportunity for leaders of both countries to address issues of concern and build a solid foundation for new agreements on infrastructure, security and defense and trade. 

In this context, Ananta Aspen Centre is organizing a public session on “India and China--A New Engagement?” with a panel of outstanding experts from diverse background to explore how the two nations can usher in a new era of bilateral relationship. The session will explore key issues, including, border dispute, security concerns and possibility of increasing bilateral trade and Beijing reducing huge trade deficit through investment in India’s manufacturing sector.
