Are India, China Coming Closer?

In his maverick style, Indian Foreign Minister S Jaishankar recently said, “The Asian Century will be difficult if India and China don’t come together”. Soon after Indian minister’s remarks, Wang Wenbin, spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said: ‘If China and India do not advance, there cannot be an Asian century’. This convergence of opinion of the two Asia’s giants signifies the necessity of closer cooperation between India and China for peace, stability and common prosperity of Asia.
