India cautiously optimistic ahead of Chinese President's maiden visit

New Delhi/ Chushul, Sep 16 (ANI): India is cautiously optimistic ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit that will seek to allay mutual suspicions and spur economic ties between the Asian giants, with hopes of high investment deals to narrow a yawning trade deficit. Xi Jinping will arrive in Gujarat on Wednesday when Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be marking his 64th birthday. New Delhi and Beijing have a complicated relationship marked by growing economic ties but also distrust, particularly over their unresolved territorial disputes. However, international relations experts like Srabani Roy Choudhury, say the bilateral growth cannot be driven by the two personalities alone as there is a significant trust deficit that needs to be overcome. Congress leader Shashi Tharoor, said the major business delegation accompanying Xi could pledge mega deals during the trip. However, another Congress leader Manish Tewari, questioned Beijing's intentions in the wake of recent reports of Chinese incursions on the disputed Himalyan border. Sep 16, 2014

Observers eye on Chinese President's Visit to India

New Delhi, Sep 15 (ANI): Looking forward to Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to India, observers on Monday opined that both nations will benefit from mutual economic cooperation, rather than indulging in border adventures. Jinping is scheduled to visit India between September 17 and 19.New Delhi's ties with Beijing have long been held back by distrust, mostly over their contested border. But many say that both countries would realise the importance of their relationship with each other, judging that both are two of the fastest growing economies in the world. Incursions by the Chinese troops into India have always left India reeling. Ahead of Jinping's visit, this issue has been on the back of most people's minds. Defence analyst, Alok Bansal, however, feels that such issues are hyped up ahead of important visits like these. Chinese investment will also help narrow a trade deficit with India that hit $31 billion in 2013. Sep 15, 2014
