Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit China for the first time after the Galwan clash. Regarding joining the SCO Summit, China said- Modi ji is welcome.
Beijing/New Delhi. There is going to be a significant turn in diplomatic relations between India and China. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will go to China to attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit to be held this year. The special thing is that this will be his first official visit to his visit to China after a clash in the Galwan Valley. There have been positive indications by the Chinese government about this visit and the official statement said - "Prime Minister Narendra Modi is welcome."
Preparation for first meeting after flock clash
In June 2020, there was a violent clash between the soldiers of India and China in the Galwan Valley of Ladakh, in which both sides suffered losses. Since then, there was tension in India-China relations. There were several round of military and diplomatic talks in the last few years, but at the top level leaders of both countries could not meet face to face.
This time there is a possibility of meeting between Prime Minister Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the pretext of the SCO Summit, which can open a new chapter in the relationship between the two countries.
Importance of SCO Summit
SCO is an international organization, an international organization that includes China, Russia, India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. The objective of this organization is to promote security, economic cooperation and regional stability.
This year's conference will be held in Beijing and will include prominent leaders of member countries. This is an important platform for India, as it will not only give an opportunity to discuss regional security issues, but is also an opportunity to increase economic and strategic cooperation with neighboring countries.
Welcome to China
A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry told the media,
"We welcome Prime Minister Narendra Modi to China. Both India and China should increase dialogue with each other and strengthen mutual trust."
This statement comes at a time when there is a sensitive atmosphere between the two countries over border dispute.
Possible agenda for India
Experts believe that Prime Minister Modi can emphasize three major issues in this visit -
- Reducing tension along the border - The possibility of a new agreement on the decrease in deployment of soldiers on the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and the rules of patrolling.
- Trade balance - concrete steps to reduce trade imbalance between India and China.
- Internal and Regional Safety - Agreement on issues like terrorism, cyber security and energy cooperation.
Changed atmosphere after fum
India had taken several important steps after the Galwan clash - ban on China's mobile app, prohibit investment of some Chinese companies and promote indigenous options in infrastructure projects. However, according to trade data, the economic transactions between the two countries did not stop completely and China is still one of the largest trading partners in India.
This visit may indicate that the two countries want to reduce stress through dialogue and economic cooperation.
India's role in SCO
India became a full member of SCO in 2017. Since then, India has used this platform to express its views on issues like terrorism, connectivity and energy cooperation. This year's conference is even more important for India, as it is taking place between changing strategic equations in Asia.
Opinion of experts
International relationship specialist Dr. Arun Sharma believes,
"If this meeting is in a positive environment, it can not only improve India-China relations but can also indicate stability throughout Asia."
However, they also believe that it would be difficult to be long -term trust without resolving border dispute.
Public and political response
India has seen mixed reactions regarding this news. Some people consider it an opportunity to improve relationships, while some are calling it a difficult diplomatic examination. The debate on this subject has also intensified on social media.
conclusion
This visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's China is very important from diplomatic point of view. This can not only open a new chapter of dialogue between India and China, but can also strengthen the efforts of peace and stability in Asia. However, its success will depend on how honest the two countries try to find solutions on border disputes and other issues.
