INDIA–US FRICTION AND INDIA-CHINA BONHOMIE WILL BE SHORT LIVED

8 months ago

Many opinion makers are of the view that in the international relations between the countries , there are no permanent enemies and no no permanent friends. In support of this view, they point out the ongoing  stress in the relationship between India and the US, while a few years back, Indian Prime Minister Modi and US President Trump went overboard and hugged each other in friendship. In the case of present bonhomie in relationship between India and China, during the meeting before the SCO event, Indian Prime Minister Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping stressed that both the countries should work together for mutual benefits, whereas in the past, there have been bitter wars several times between India and China when soldiers from both the sides lost their lives.

However, contrary to such view of opinion makers , the fact is that  it is a pre condition that there should not be any conflict of interest  between two countries to have near-permanent friendship, even though in some instances , there may be temporary setbacks that would be resolved in quick time.
