KOLKATA: The mistrust between India and China can be overcome by engaging in all fields – from trade and industries to cultural exchanges between the two nations, Air Chief Marshal (retd) Arup Raha said here Wednesday.
Stability in the world will depend on how the two countries handle relations with each other, Raha told newspersons here.
The former Air Force chief, however, said that while nurturing relations with any neighbour or other nation, maintaining our strategic autonomy is very important.”
Regarding China’s continued blocking of India’s bid to designate Pakistan-based JeM chief Masood Azhar as a global terrorist by the UN, he said “They (China) are losing on their image around the world.”
Thinktank CENERS-K held a day-long ‘Calcutta Dialogue on Engaging People’s Republic of China’, where Chinese speakers, apart from distinguished Indian experts engaged in discussions on ways and means of building trust between the two countries, Raha, who is the president of the organisation, said.
