BEIJING: India expects China to make a gesture during the ongoing celebration of the 60th anniversary of diplomatic relationship by supporting New Delhi's case for a seat in the United Nations Security Council.

This issue is expected to be discussed prominently during meetings between external affairs minister SM Krishna and Chinese leaders this week.

But there is little expectation from the Chinese side for correcting the trade imbalance caused by low buying from China. The trade deficit will also come in the way of any attempt by Chinese leaders to persuade India to sign a regional trade agreement, sources said.

"It they do not do something about the UN Security Council seat in this year of celebrations, they may not do it later. We are not going to beg for Chinese support. It is for China to recognize India's place in the world and extend support," a foreign ministry source told TNN.

Krishna, who arrives in Beijing Monday evening on a four-day visit, is also likely to discuss China's sale of arms including fighter aircrafts to Pakistan. But India does not expect a change of heart among Chinese leaders even after president Hu Jintao's recent statement describing ties with India as one of China's most important relationships.

India is also looking forward to a clear statement from China that is not interested in getting involved with infrastructure development in the Pakistan Occupied Kashmir. There have been reports that some Chinese construction companies are eagerly looking at business opportunities in the disputed area.

Pakistan will also figure with the leaders discuss the situation in Afghanistan. China is worried about Islamic militants spilling over from Afghanistan and Pakistan to its restive border region of Xingjian, which is a hotbed of a separatist movement. It is for Krishna to take advantage of Beijing's worries and push ahead his agenda.

The vexed issue of visa including New Delhi's dissatisfaction over China's treatment of Indian Kashmiris is bound to figure at the discussions.

The Iranian nuclear issue is bound to come up during meetings with Krishna, who has caused a lot of unhappiness in Iran on the matter. Chinese leaders had earlier tried to suggest that there are similarities between the Indian nuclear program and that of Iran because it involves the principal of nuclear non-proliferation.

Hu, who had a telephonic talk with US president Barack Obama on Saturday, is due to attend the Nuclear Security Summit April 12-13 in Washington. Though Beijing's sympathy for Iran's nuclear program is well known, it is still uncertain if it would openly oppose US moves on imposing sanctions.

Hu is also scheduled to visit Brazil to attend the second summit of the BRIC countries, which involve Brazil, Russia, India and China from April 14.

Black hearts in spot lights. India is running after the world now even China which in eyes of India is the partner in crime with Pakistan. One one hand India says it wants peace with Pakistan and they support a stable Pakistan and that is good in India's interest. But the reality is India wants a Pakistan which is either crushed or is under its own dominance.

Hypocrites of course.

India is using diplomacy to promote its own interest or to damage Pakistan diplomatically. !!!! This country is united only with the common interest to destroy Pakistan.

A common indian has no time to think about pakistan, we think about becoming engineers, scientists and even billioares like mukesh ambani and bill gates... We hardly bother pakistan.

Its the forced events like 26/11 which force us to act.


As mentioned time n again, none of indians take pakistan as threat but its china...

And our mordernization is more of representation of our growing status and power.

Having said this,
The only reason why india wants to corner pakistan is the obvious concern and fasibility of our diplomatic which does give results.
