Modi’s Mann Ki Baat with Xi in Wuhan
April 28, 2018
Research Fellow, IDSA, Dr Jagannath Panda’s article on an informal one-on-one meeting between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping, titled ‘Modi’s Mann Ki Baat with Xi in Wuhan’ was published in ‘The Pioneer’ on April 28, 2018.
The meeting may not change everything in India-China relations since identical regional ambitions in Asia put the two countries under a complex competitive periphery today. But this need not be read as New Delhi succumbing to a rising China pressure post-Doklam and Modi’s attempt to appease China ahead of the election year. The informal Wuhan meet is happening with concurrent interests at stake both in India and China, writes Dr Panda.
