India. China Working on a Plan to Hold Another Joint Military Excercise


India and China appeared to be working on a plan to hold another joint military exercise with the purpose to reducing areas of misunderstanding and ensuring harmony along the vast border areas. This is one of the indications available after two days of defense dialogue between the two countries held between Indian defense secretary Pradeep Kumar and Chinese officials.

Kumar and Ma Xiaotian, deputy chief of general staff of the People’s Liberation Army discussed the regional security situation and the ways to further develop relations between the two militaries and introduced the national defense policy to the other side. The holding of the dialogue, the second one since 2008, is in itself a significant step towards enhancing defense cooperation between the military of the two countries.

The Chinese ministry of national defense said the officials from the two countries “exchanged views on such issues as regional security situation and the relations between the two militaries and introduced the national defense policy to the other side”. The Indian side refused to discuss what was discussed at the meetings.India is willing to work together with the Chinese side to strengthen mutual trust, increase consensus, expand the field for the reciprocal defense security cooperation between the two countries, the Chinese ministry quoted Pradeep Kumar as saying, New Delhi wants to promote stable development of the relations between the two countries and the two militaries, he said.

Ma Xiaotian said the two countries have reached consensuses on different issues through consultation and exchanges including visits of military delegations, joint training, personnel training and academic exchange in recent years.He said defense security consultation can serve as a good platform for the two sides to expound concerns, enhance mutual trust and coordinate stand, and communicate and discuss the exchanges and co-operation between the two militaries as well as other important international and regional security issues.

One of the best initiative. Indo-China exercise will ensure peace in south Asia as soon as the border issue is sorted. some day we would be happy to see not only joint Exercise between India, Pakistan and China but also becoming an influencial trade partner to create PIC [Pakistan-India-China] trade alliance in line of BRIC [Brazil, Russia, India & China]

Still have to go a long way to see such collaboration.
