My Father Gouri Shankar Rajhans Wrote On India-China Tense Ties Amidst Military Pact With Japan

My father Gouri Shankar Rajhans noted in Dainik Navjyoti on September 15, 2020 on the inexplicable India-China ties and amidst this reality the emergence of military pact reached with Japan. India-China ties had seen manifold rise in tension given the Pangong Lake developments. This pact between India and Japan envisaged soldiers of both nations could use the military base of either country as and when the need arose. Japanese leaders underscored the need for strong ties between two nations as the situation in and around Asia Pacific was unstable. The importance of this military pact stems from the fact that India had reached such pacts with nations like Australia, France, US and Singapore and Japan was the fifth nation to do so.

Leaders of both nations agreed that virus had unsettled the growth momentum and there was an urgent need to rein in the negative vibes and here workable and emphatic policies of nations across world could provide the soothing solution. Most analysts are of the view that with this military pact between India and Japan the Continent of Asia could write a new chapter. The prevailing tension with China was not going to reap gains to Beijing and Chinese side overtures to India was diametrically opposite to its military's aggressive footprints. 

This story appeared at a time when rocky ties between India And China had resurfaced given the Pangong Lake invasion by Chinese forces. Well it took months for tensions to ebb and peace prevail in and around Pangong Lake.  

As for present I am of the view that as for US-Russia ties the reset button is pressed and all grievances don't scale Mount Everest. US -Russia ties need to enter a new era and officials partake the benefit of sighting Koura.
