"India-China relations moving in correct direction: Chinese Consul Qin Jie

Chinese Consul General Qin Jie expresses optimism for India-China ties, highlighting upcoming BRICS summits as key opportunities for deepening bilateral cooperation.

"For the future of the relationship, we are moving in the correct direction in India-China relations under the leadership of our leaders. - Consul General Qin Jie"

Pune, April 1

Consul General of the People's Republic of China in Mumbai, Qin Jie, spoke about the future of India-China ties and expressed optimism as he recalled the meeting between PM Modi and President Xi Jinping.

He added that the BRICS Summit, which will take place in New Delhi, will provide an opportunity to further deepen ties.

The Consul General told reporters, "For the future of the relationship, we are moving in the correct direction in India-China relations under the leadership of our leaders. They have met each other twice in the last two years."

Speaking about the BRICS Summit, which will take place in India this year, he added, "This year, the BRICS summit will be held in Delhi, and next year it will be held in China. This will give us special opportunities to deepen our connection and friendship and make progress for the benefit of our people and stability of the whole world..."

Earlier in March, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for enhanced cooperation between New Delhi and Beijing during a news conference held on the sidelines of the fourth session of the 14th National People's Congress in Beijing.

The senior diplomat emphasised the importance of bilateral collaboration, stating that "India and China must step up and support each other's presidency of BRICS over the next two years." These comments come at a time of significant global upheaval, specifically amid the escalating US-Iran conflict in West Asia.

Highlighting the potential for a unified front between the two Asian giants, Wang Yi underscored the impact their partnership could have on the international stage. "Together, we can bring new hope to the Global South," he stated, suggesting that a coordinated leadership within the BRICS bloc would serve as a stabilising force for developing nations.

As an expat in India, I find the dynamics between these two giants fascinating. A stable India-China relationship is crucial for global supply chains and economic stability. The focus on the Global South within BRICS is a smart, unifying narrative.

It's good to hear optimistic words, but trust has been deeply damaged. Our soldiers' sacrifice at the border is not forgotten. Any friendship must be based on mutual respect for sovereignty. Let's see if the 'correct direction' includes de-escalation and status quo ante.

Cooperation in BRICS is important for a multipolar world. We shouldn't let border tensions completely derail economic and strategic partnerships that can benefit our development. But India must negotiate from a position of strength, not just hope.

The part about bringing "new hope to the Global South" resonates. If India and China can genuinely collaborate on climate finance, tech transfer, and fair trade within BRICS, it could be a game-changer for many developing countries. Cautiously hopeful.

Talk is cheap. We've heard this "correct direction" line before. The Chinese leadership says one thing in international forums and does another on the LAC. Our government should engage, but with extreme caution and zero compromise on security. Jai Hind.
