  • India-China Ties: Between Personalities and Principles
    IDSA Issue Brief IDSA ISSUE BRIEF1 India-China Ties: Between Personalities and Principles Jagannath Panda Jagannath Panda is Research Fellow and Centre Coordinator for East Asia at the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi. September 15, 2014 Summary Chinese President Xi Jinping's visit to India is a new opportunity for infusing momentum in the bilateral relations. The relationship in the near term will depend heavily upon how the Chinese President and the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi accommodate each other and address key security and strategic issues. Bilateral economic dealings would be one aspect of the talks; but neither country can afford to bypass the sensitive security and strategic issues that dog their efforts to bring peace and stability. To succeed in this endeavour, the personality facets of the two leaders need to come into play and lay the ground for the next course of India-China relations. Disclaimer: Views expressed in IDSA’s publications and on its website are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the IDSA or the Government of India. India-China Ties: Between Personalities and Principles 2 The Significance of Xi’s Visit President Xi Jinping will visit India from 17-19 September in the course of travelling to Dushanbe in Tajikistan to attend the 14th Meeting of the Council of Heads of Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and also visiting Maldives and Sri Lanka. This is Xi’s first tour to India as head of state and comes at a time when India’s recently elected Prime Minister Narendra Modi has just concluded his official visit to Japan and is set to travel to the US.
