Discussions over matters related to North Korea, South China Sea, East China Sea, Taiwan, and Xinjiang can spark a wider conflict between the world’s biggest economies.
Protocol did not demand Modi meet either leader. Yet, he met both, spent an hour with each, and almost treated them like serving heads of govt or state.

A fairly substantive dialogue also took place, behind the scenes, during the Singh – Musharraf years, again success proved elusive. As for Saarc, we are allowing it to wither on the vine, despite being the natural leader of South Asia. A vacuum is being created, and it is being filled by a strong wind from the east. The hard work for Indian diplomacy lies in the neighbourhood. What exactly do our envoys in the A category postings do the whole day, one wonders.
