Indian ambassador to China speaks positively of China-India military ties
The friendly exchanges between China and India go back to time immemorial. In 2011, the China-India Exchange Year, China and India respectively invited 500 youths from the other country for visits with a view to deepening understanding and enhancing mutual trust through such exchanges between the youths.
As the China-India Exchange Year of 2011 is drawing to a close, the reporter from the Chinese Peoples Liberation Army (PLA) had an exclusive interview with S. Jaishankar, Indian ambassador to China and PhD on international relations. He has traveled all over China and conducted frequent interactions with Chinese high-ranking officials and civic communities since he took office in August, 2009.
When asked to comment on the China-India exchanges throughout the year, Ambassador S. Jaishankar first affirmed that this has been a very positive and fruitful year, and then went on to analyze specifically the developments in areas of political, economic and people-to-people exchanges.
When talking about the military exchanges between the two countries, the ambassador was equally positive, The Indian military delegation conducted a successful visit to China, the political commissar of the Tibet Military Command of the PLA and his party visited India, and whats more, in December, Ma Xiaotian, deputy chief of general staff of the PLA, and Shashikant Sharma, defense secretary of India, engaged in a successful annual defense dialogue.
After expressing his satisfaction with the achievements made this year so far, Ambassador S. Jaishankar noted that China and India should continue to expand the scope and level of mutual exchanges, and currently they are working towards the goal.
