Former Ambassadar of India to China & Former Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan
I was very happy to participate in the Inside breakfast meeting on the 8 September 2022 here in Bangalore. It was a very good interaction with a group of people that Synergy Foundation had put together from dif ferent walks of life. And we spoke about how the India China relationship is developing and also larger question of geopolitics today. It was an excellent initiative by Synergia Foundation. I wish them well for the future. Thank You.
India has not taken any predetermined steps to create the border sit uation that we are now facing. Trade continues between the countries as hitherto fore with 2021 seeing the highest level. Our leaders have been regularly meeting in fora like BRICS and SCO.India, on its part, has taken a very practical approach to the relations despite the obvious deficit in trust. This lack of trust can only be restored slowly through communication at all levels while maintaining peace and tranquility at our mutual borders.
