India Not In Business Of Containment Of China: Ex-Foreign Secretary Shyam Saran In Beijing

ABP News  

New Delhi: India is not involved in any kind of “containment” of China even as it aligns its foreign policy objectives closely with the United States aimed mainly at achieving its own developmental goals, former foreign secretary Shyam Saran said at an event in Beijing. The sooner you dispense with that perspective, the better it would be in terms of taking India-China relations forward,” Saran said, addressing a query on India aligning more with the US to contain China. Saran said that the challenge for development for India today has been much “greater” and on the contrary, China had a “very good run, in a sense that for several decades it has had a very benign and open global environment in which it could pursue its development". "That is what is also making this much more complicated,” Saran said, adding: “What we find is that major regional powers are today exercising much greater agency.” In this regard, he highlighted the recent peace deal facilitated by China to bring Saudi Arabia and Iran closer to each other, who were previously staunch adversaries.
