China and India: Towards Greater Cooperation and Exchange‪.‬

The rapid and parallel rise of China and India on the world stage has resulted in rife critical comparisons of the two Asian giants. However, an exploration of potential scope for Sino-Indian cooperation to their mutual benefit may prove a more fruitful exercise. Whether in the economic or strategic sense, or whether pertaining to aspirations towards global power status, Sino-Indian interests are certainly converging. Already, progressively deeper Sino-Indian interactions signal a ripening of mutual trust. This could pave the way for the establishment of specific platforms of mutual collaboration, lesson-learning and aid which would not only be useful in themselves, but may serve as important confidence building-measures for the future. **********
