A positive signs have now come up amidst long -standing tension in India and China relations. During the visit of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to Delhi, China has assured India that it will resume the supply of fertilizer, rare earth minerals and tunnel digging machines. Foreign Minister S. These three major concerns of India were discussed in the meeting of Jaishankar and Wang Yi and now China has shown a positive attitude on them. This step has been taken at a time when there was a deep impact of the lack of these materials in agriculture, industry and infrastructure sector.
India had continuously emphasized in recent months that the preparation of Rabi crop is being affected due to the supply of fertilizers like urea, DAP and NPK. Similarly, the automobile and electronics industries depend on rare earth minerals, which led to pressure on production. In addition, the speed of metro and road projects slowed down due to non -availability of tunnel digging machines. Now, there is a possibility of boom in these three areas as soon as I get assurance of restoring supply from China.
During the talks, Wang Yi said that China understands the needs of India and is ready for cooperation. He also emphasized that the misconceptions between the two countries should focus on new possibilities by leaving behind. Jaishankar also said that stability in business and economic relations will come only when mutual trust and cooperation will increase. He also clarified that there has been no change in India’s Taiwan policy and India only gives importance to economic and cultural relations according to global standards.
Experts believe that this move of China is a sign of melting of snow in relations. However, border disputes and issues related to the Line of Actual Control are still left, which will be discussed in the Special Representative Level talks between National Security Advisor Ajit Doval and Wang Yi. Analysts say this cooperation has strategic importance for the two countries amidst the heavy tariffs and global trade instability imposed on India by the US.
It is clear that the announcement of restoring supply from China is not just an economic decision but also a diplomatic step towards improving relations. Now it has to be seen how strong this positive beginning makes peace and mutual trust on the border in the future.
