Highly-placed sources told news agencies there were some indications already that the Chinese premier may announce a more evolved position on India's bid for a permanent seat on the UN Security Council, which will be more advanced than its articulation on the issue so far.
Sources disclosed that Beijing may surprise New Delhi and belie critics who think the US support was meant to counter China's ascent on the global stage.
"The Chinese premier may come out with a clearer support for India's Security Council ambitions.It's quite possible," Srikanth Kondapalli, a China expert who closely tracks Beijing's moves, told the agency.
A day after Obama endorsed India's bid for permanent seat in the UNSC, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Tuesday said in Beijing that China was ready for consultations over the issue and values India's status in the international affairs and understands India's aspirations to play a greater role in the United Nations. Beijing's willingness to discuss the issue is seen here as "a step forward" ahead of Wen's visit.
