Chinese surprise: India now at par with P5
New Delhi: In a very significant strategic as well as diplomatic development, China on Monday upgraded its Ambassador to India Zhang Yan to the rank of vice-minister in the Chinese government.
Clearly, China upgrading its mission in India to the level it maintains in P5 countries on a day when US President Barack Obama is on a high-profile visit to New Delhi appears to be more than a mere coincidence.
The P5 or the powerful 5 is the exclusive club of worlds most powerful countries USA, United Kingdom, China, France and Russia - who are also permanent members of United Nations Security Council.
As vice-minister the Ambassador will be reporting to the Chinese government on Indias reaction to all major issues, including currency movement.
The upgrade, confirmed by a spokesman of the Chinese embassy, suggests that India has moved up in Chinas global pecking order and also points to the keenness of the Dragon to deepen its engagement with its neighbour - at a time when the regions geo-politics is undergoing rapid changes.
