China India move towards holding joint military exercise

India and China have agreed to resume defence exchanges, raising them all the way to joint exercises, after their top leaderships met on the sidelines of a group summit.


Wednesday's meeting between Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Chinese President Hu Jintao in Sanya, Hainan, where heads of Brics nations - Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - had gathered for a summit, was this year's first high-level exchange between the two leaders.


The defence exercises will involve the army, navy and air force, Indian officials said. An Indian military delegation led by a two-star general from the Kashmir-facing Northern Command will also travel to Beijing later this year.


Said Indian national security adviser Shivshankar Menon to reporters in Sanya: 'We never froze defence exchanges.


'We have maintained communication in the defence field, but following discussions in the last few months, it has been agreed that a multi-command Indian army delegation will be visiting China later this year. We are also discussing further exchanges and visits in this sector during the year.'


The decision to resume high-level military contacts underscores recent efforts by the two Asian giants to repair a series of misunderstandings triggered by suspicions of each other's strategic intentions.


Dr Singh, as he approaches the midway mark of what is likely to be his last stint as prime minister, is clearly hastening to make efforts to build a lasting peace with China and Pakistan as his legacy to the Indian nation.


Indian analysts say making peace with Beijing may be easier, even as they point out that China is rapidly building up strategic ties with countries in India's immediate neighbourhood.


On the other hand, Beijing is wary of the blossoming strategic linkages between Washington and New Delhi. India also has a constant pressure point with China, with its hosting of the Dalai Lama, Tibet's exiled spiritual leader.


But analysts hailed this week's development as one that augurs well for the India-China relationship.


Said China expert Sujit Dutta: 'At the end of the day, reciprocity and mutual respect are the foundation for strong ties. The tough positions India took on issues close to its core interests seem to have paid off.' (Straits Times)
