TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Welcoming Prime Minister Narendra Modi`s China visit for the ninth BRICS Summit next week as a “diplomatic victory,” the defense experts, on Wednesday, said that this visit will not only be graceful and charming for India, but also pave way for a meeting between the former and President Xi Jinping, after the India-China tensions following the Doklam standoff.
According to reports defense expert P.K. Sehgal said that the patience Indian government and the media showed in handling China was remarkable and impressed the entire world.”India had abundantly clear, through diplomatic channels to China that if the Doklam standoff continue, it may not be possible for the Indian Prime Minister to participate, which would have been a debacle in a catastrophe for China.
Adding, “China, on the other hand, looked like a laughing stock. What they did was something that looked foolish and immature, particularly for a nation that claims to be one of the oldest civilizations of world. To that extent, it`s a huge victory for India. We have to be graceful and charming to ensure that there is no undue embarrassment to our host, the Chinese.”
This has been an absolutely amazing diplomatic victory, where the Indian Prime Minister goes, with his head held high and with a skyrocketing image of India. The patience that the Indian government and the Indian media showed was remarkable, something that impressed the entire world,” he said.
