India’s ties with China ‘abnormal’ due to violation of border management agreements by Beijing: ...
India wants to ensure that its relations with all countries advance without seeking exclusivity, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has said as he underlined that China falls into a somewhat different category because of the currently “abnormal” nature of ties which is an outcome of a violation of border management agreements by Beijing.
He said that more countries are going to find arrangements among themselves on pressing issues when they find that the United Nations cannot rise to a challenge.
“Overall, India is a nation that is deeply committed to promoting collective solutions for global good. Our presidency of the G-20 this year is devoted to focusing on the real challenges to global development and global growth,” he added.
On India’s engagement with Latin America, he said in the last decade, there had been a conscious deepening of this process. “Our trade with Latin America is today approaching a volume of USD 50 billion.” Separately, addressing the India-Dominican Republic Business Event here on Friday, Jaishankar said the trade turnover between India and the Dominican Republic has reached almost USD one billion.
He said that the two countries concluded talks on a joint economic and trade cooperation (JETCO) mechanism and hoped that it would become a platform for regular meetings, addressing economic and business cooperation opportunities between the two sides. (Indian Express)
