High-level visits define Sino-Indian ties

By Parama Sinha Palit (China Daily) Updated: 2013-10-21 07:11

In fact, high-level state visits aiming to increase economic exchanges were started by the visit of the former Indian minister of commerce Murasoli Maran to China in 1998. Since then, several visits by top leaders from both sides with economics high on their agendas have taken place. India is now the only country other than the United States with which China has instituted Strategic Economic Dialogue since 2011, highlighting the significance it attaches to the economic relationship.

The rapid increase in state visits and the interface between its top leaders is evident from the fact that then-premier Wen Jiabao and then-president Hu Jintao met Singh on 10 occasions in 2010 alone. Indeed, Singh's forthcoming visit to China will pave the way for his third meeting with President Xi Jinping this year.

High-level visits are an important part of the two countries' national foreign policies. China and India continue to use these visits for public diplomacy not only bilaterally but also with other countries. The new Chinese leadership has been particularly eager to consolidate partnerships across the world through these high-level interactions.

While Xi impressed the West with his whirlwind tours immediately after taking office in March, Li chose India and South Asia as his first foreign destination. His visit to New Delhi in May, soon after the three-week-long border impasse in April 2013, underlined China's willingness to ease tensions and work with India on various issues. India warmly welcomed Li without allowing the border spat to affect its evolving ties with China and also sent Defense Minister A.K. Antony to Beijing in July.This was the first visit by an Indian defense minister to China since then-defense minister Pranab Mukherjee, the current president of India, visited Beijing in 2006. Antony's visit is significant and signaled that both countries are willing to expand their engagement beyond economics, to interactions between the armed forces as well.

While contemporary foreign policy makes it a prerequisite to strengthen international communications, reinforcing engagement and contact with neighbors has become particularly important for countries like China and India. Both are countries with global ambitions, coupled with economic clout and strategic influence in the region.

High-level visits facilitate bilateral communication and engagement in a constructive fashion, helping to build trust and improve understanding. Public diplomacy, through state visits, is critical for peace and stability in the region - conditions that are essential for the two major Asian countries to maintain their economic progress and balance their strategic positions at the regional and global levels.
