Can China displease Moditva ??
New Delhi
Chinese Foreign minister and State Councillor Wang Yi arrived in New Delhi on Thursday, March 24, and is likely to meet NSA Ajit Doval and External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar.
It is an unannounced and not a pre-scheduled visit and comes a day after India categorically “rejected” his “uncalled for” comments
in reference to Jammu and Kashmir at a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Islamabad.
The meeting between Dr Jaishankar and Wang Yi is likely on Friday morning.
Of course the two sides are expected to discuss about the Russia-Ukraine crisis as both New Delhi and China have been abstaining from voting at the United Nations. Of course for a resolution piloted by Russia on Wednesday, Beijing also had voted in favour of it
along with Moscow.
The apprehension in some quarter is India could be displeased at Wang Yi's Kashmir
remarks in Islamabad and that could jeopardize BRICS Summit later this year and also an effort being made to build up a strong RIC - Russia-India-China axis.
Such an axis has become all the more crucial in view of the changing geo-political situation vis-a-vis Russia-Ukraine military conflict.
Wang Yi's visit comes at a time when Beijing, after two years of the military standoff along the Line of Actual Control in Ladakh, has tried to reach out to New Delhi to revive bilateral dialogue and also prepare the stage for the BRICS (Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa) summit to be hosted in China this year.
Meanwhile, India on Thursday slammed the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation
(OIC) in Islamabad and said some statements were made based on “falsehoods and misrepresentation”.
“The statements and resolutions adopted at the meeting demonstrate both the irrelevance of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation as a body and the role of Pakistan as its manipulator,” MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said.
