Masood Azhar row: China calls for talks on setting up hotlines between defence ministries and border personnel
Beijing is reaching out to India for closer defence cooperation
China has proposed the following:
1. China wants to send a delegation of senior armed forces officials to India and also,
delegations of commanders of the Western theatre and also, of border troops, for discussions.
2. China has suggested that the Indian Defence Minister visit China in 2020 and has also requested that the chiefs of the army, navy and air force visit China. In the note verbale to India,
China says that there should be a visit to China by Indian border troops and also, by Indian air force personnel. While a visit to China by the Indian Navy chief, Admiral Sunil Lanba, was being considered, it is unlikely to happen, high-level government sources said. Instead, a vice-admiral or a rear-admiral's visit is being talked about.
3. The Chinese have also called for visits by
Indian warships to ports in China and vice-versa, and joint escort missions in the Indian Ocean area. This is primarily to counter pirates.
India is currently looking at the requests by China. Then, there will be a suitable response, sources said.
Never EVER EVER TRUST The chinese. They are simply trying to Dilute the situation for a lee way.
