Delhi: EAM S.
Jaishankar says, "...On India-China, if you look at it, we are the only two countries with more than a billion people.
We have a certain civilizational history, and today we are on a track of economic recovery or rejuvenation.
There is no question that anyone predicting developments in this century cannot leave India and China out of that equation.
We are very prominent and key in this regard.
However, here is the challenge: we are neighbors, and we have an unresolved boundary issue.
Both countries have been rising, and when two large neighboring countries rise simultaneously, it is not easy... Our capabilities, influence, and ambitions will change.
Both of us will naturally want to be bigger, more visible, and more effective in the world.
The big issue for us is how to achieve equilibrium in our relationship..." #sjaishankar #ndtvworldsummit #externalaffairsminister #sjaishankarspeech
