With the US President Barack
Obama's visit riling China,
external affairs minister
Sushma Swaraj is travelling to
Beijing to sooth nerves. In
addition to a joint statement and
a Delhi declaration of friendship,
India and the US released a
document specific to the Asia-
Pacific and the Indian Ocean
region where maritime disputes
between China and other
claimant nations are escalating.
Though, Swaraj's visit next week
was planned to attend the
trilateral meet of foreign
ministers of Russia, India and
China, a bilateral meeting has
been sought with Chinese
counterpart Wang Yi, for what is
believed to soothe the feathers
ruffled by the growing India-US
bonhomie.
When draft of a the document
had come under discussion, an
official is understood to have
raised objection that it will
agitate China, but the prime
minister, who was presiding the
meeting himself brushed aside
the objection.
Both sides in the document
affirmed "the importance of
safeguarding maritime security
and ensuring freedom of
navigation and over flight
throughout the region, especially
in the South China Sea."
President Pranab Mukherjee on
Sunday received a message from
his Chinese counterpart Xi
Jinping, who greeted India on its
66th Republic Day. Xi also wrote
that China was ready to work
with India to deepen mutually
beneficial cooperation in various
fields, and build a closer
partnership of development.
On the same day, Obama and
Modi in a joint statement in an
indirect reference to China called
for avoiding threat or use of
force, and pursue resolution of
territorial and maritime disputes
through all peaceful means, in
accordance with universally
recognised principles of
international law, including the
United Nations Convention on
the Law of the Sea.
Chinese official media warned
that New Delhi's close ties with
Washington may pose problems
for Sino-India relations.
"Obama's strategy is quite clear.
He wants to split the relations
between China and India, as well
as India and Russia, in an effort
to fulfill his strategy of a 're-
balance' in Asia," said state-run
Global Times, which is part of the
ruling Communist Party of China
group of publications.
