She talks most practically of shared security and shared prosperity. 10 ASEAN leaders came to Delhi at the invitation of the Indian Prime Minister, a triumph of Indian diplomacy as PM Modi says India does not covet others territory a welcome reassurance to countries of the ASEAN region. India hosted leaders of 10 ASEAN countries for the first time during our Republic Day celebrations this year giving a strong message to China that India is great friend of theirs. All want to have an independent foreign policy. No one willingly wants to give military bases to China, in lieu of development aid. China if it gives money for development wants it back in cash or military bases. |
