India China Pakistan Relations

Donald Trump's presidential election victory has brought optimism to India-US relations, with key appointments and initiatives signalling a stronger partnership between the two nations.

If India and Pakistan have tepid bilateral relations today, it is because the Pakistan army appears reluctant to allow civilian governments to build a warm relationship with India.

Pak PM Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday ordered a thorough joint investigation into the deadly terrorist attack on Chinese nationals, as Beijing pressed Islamabad to speed up the hunt for the perpetrators.

China, which has offered a $9 billion bailout package to Pakistan, on Monday pledged more support for the cash-strapped nation.

India on Tuesday slammed China and Pakistan for their efforts to encourage third countries to join projects relating to their multi-billion dollar connectivity corridor that passes through Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.

China on Wednesday termed the shooting incident in Pakistan's Karachi city, in which a Chinese national was injured, as an "isolated case", days after the all-weather allies termed the bus explosion killing nine Chinese.

China said on Monday that it was "happy" over the recent "active interactions" between Pakistan and India, indicating that it would like to work with Islamabad to inject "more positive energy" into regional peace, stability and development.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Monday held the first joint virtual conference with his counterparts from Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nepal during which he mooted a four-point plan to contain the COVID-19 pandemic, boost economic recovery and resumption of the BRI (Belt and Road Initiative) infrastructure projects.

New Army chief General MM Naravane said today that the armed forces were focusing on "capability development" in connection with the border with China and expressed hope that maintaining peace and tranquillity there will help arrive at an "eventual solution".

China wants India and Pakistan to have good relations and join hands for promoting peace and stability in the region, said Chinese Ambassador to India Sun Weidong.

China said on Thursday it will play a "constructive role" in the improvement of relations between India and Pakistan, days after the second informal summit between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Xi Jinping.
