China India Relations and SAARC

Abstract

[Sino-Indian relations have improved in recent years but there remains a visible lack of mutual trust, particularly at the level of masses.  This has been a major obstacle in the way of developing an all round relationship as political relations are, to a large extent, a manifestation of public opinion. SAARC presents an appropriate forum to remove misconception through increased exchanges and to foster a friendlier relationship between the two countries that will also beneficial for the whole region. – Eds.]
