‘India, China to Jointly Identify Project in Capacity Building in Afghanistan’

[Theparadox]

India and China today agreed that they will jointly move forward in identifying a specific project in the area of capacity building in Afghanistan, Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said on Saturday, a move that could upset Pakistan. During the informal summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Wuhan in April, the two leaders had agreed to undertake a joint India-China economic project in Afghanistan.

PM Modi today had detailed discussions with Xi on bilateral and global issues on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit here. Gokhale said that on Afghanistan there was a brief discussion on the projects.

One of the outcomes of today’s meeting between Prime Minister Modi and President Xi is that India and China have agreed that they will move forward in identifying a specific project initially in the area of capacity building, he said. “But it would be a joint project in Afghanistan so we now have to begin the process of identifying it,” Gokhale said.

This will be a first such project in the war-torn country where China, while trying to expand its influence, has tacitly backed Pakistan, which has been accused by Afghanistan and the US of backing the Taliban and its most violent attacks in the country destabilising any attempts to restore peace.

China for the first time held a trilateral meeting with the foreign ministers of Pakistan and Afghanistan in December last year in Beijing to narrow down the differences between the two countries.

I think you haven't received the memo on Iran by Uncle Sam.

And haven't you heard OUR foreign office and defense ministry, just said STFU to the US, loud and clear. LOL

Both in the case of Iran and Russia.

India says it only follows U.N. sanctions, not U.S. sanctions on Iran

India to proceed with purchase of Russian S-400 units despite possible US sanctions

But but wasn't India supposed to contain China?

Maybe as per your perspective. Sorry, but Pakistan has only two points in your foreign policy, someone is either a friend or foe. So you won't understand this equation.

LOL it is a good thing to daydream.

The whole world knows the role defined for India. The US will continue to dictate Indian foreign policy. As long as India is in the US camp you don't have much of a say and you know it.

You haven't even aqcuired the S-400 yet. Let's just wait for that to happen.

The Iran sanctions is still a developing story. We will see how India will respond when Uncle Sam starts pushing harder and harder. Right now Uncle Sam is just tickling India.

LOL at the argument that Pakistan only has a friend foe policy. Dude, just wait. Your policy of sucking up to all sides is coming to a swift end. Indian appeasment policy hasn't prevented your major ally from criticizing and questioning the S-400 deal etc.

You can pretend that all is fine, but make no mistake the fault lines are visible.

LOL, says a nation who entangled themself in U.S.A's. And all it took was a mere phone call threat to push you into this mess, again the same nation who couldn't continue with an inch of IP pipeline because of the fear of U.S.

Seriously, you need to grow a pair of real balls to reply and act in a way India does with U.S.A.

Now you can keep on continuing with your usual abuse and rediculing while we get S-400 surprise for you from Russia and cheap Oil from Iran.

On top of that we will surely acquire most advanced tech and hardware available from the US as well. Just wait and see kid.

Why do not you understand?

Our foreign policy is just different compare to Pakistan... We have independent foreign policy and we don't need to join any camp.

LOL says the guy who uses excessive emoticons to express his feelings.

LOL the US accuses and begs Pakistan to do more. There is no relationship between Pakistan and the US. I think you are hallucinating.

You can't accuse Pakistan lacking a pair when Indian daddy America accuses Pakistan of all sorts.

We will see Hindustani. You can talk tough all day long. We know what will happen when daddy America demands India to be on their side LOL India will crawl to US side.

Man, seriously....

Why do not you understand?

You truly don't. You like to appease all sides, but as you have experienced lately, Uncle Sam demands complete loyalty. You will have to abide by US demands. You take their call center jobs, weapons and dollars. You think this is charity? Stop pretending that you have an independent policy LOL
