Xi Jinping  

Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to India is, for many, was an important one. While no major changes or announcements were expected and none were made during the visit, it will undoubtedly lead to deepening the co-operation between the two countries. The previous Xi -Modi meeting was held in Wuhan in April last year; It was also an informal summit, it was so decided by both heads of state to have such informal meetings. May be, Narendra Modi is thinking that such meetings provide some results. The President of China arrived in India as per the decision at Wuhan. Moreover, he flew to Chennai with the realization that India is no more a nation that was five or ten years ago. Beijing also recognizes the fact that they require India’s consent or co-operation for their most ambitious projects in Pakistan.

Three fortuitous developments are helping the Modi-Jaishankar-Doval trio to effect some subtle changes – Modi and Jaishankar’s high octane diplomatic blitz in the US to re-energise the US relationship; the crafting of Wuhan II at Mamallapuram where Chinese president Xi Jinping had a meeting with PM Modi, and the unexpected opening up of the field in the Afghanistan peace process.
