Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Visit to China, May 2015

Kishan S. Rana

China Report, 2015, vol. 51, issue 4, 327-338

Abstract: Prime Minister Modi’s May 2015 visit to China is examined with reference to several issues: the border dispute; trade, investment and economic cooperation; education, culture and people exchanges; South Asia, Pakistan; ‘Silk’, BCIM and other routes; and building trust. External Affair’s Minister Sushma Swaraj’s January 2015 hint in Beijing about an ‘out of box’ solution to the border issue was not borne out; we may ask if Indian publics are being prepared for a possible settlement, and without that it appears that the issue has not reached a tipping point where past positions become redundant. But the bilateral engagement has been widened and deepened. Modi seems to act on the premise that diplomacy can deliver result attuned to India’s basic objective of national social-economic development.
