LONDON – A high-level Chinese delegation – headed by an official of even above the level of minister – is scheduled to visit New Delhi this month, The Daily Mail reported on Monday.
According to details, the Chinese side will seek certain explanations from the Indians about RAW’s funding and training of militants of ETIM at Kunnar, Nuristan, Kandahar and other parts of Afghanistan for not only carrying out terror acts in China’s Xinjiang but for also creating potential threats to China-Pakistan Economic Corridor via Balochistan area.
The Chinese side would talk to Indians officials with solid evidences and would seek strong assurances from New Delhi about immediately and completely withdrawing its support to ETIM militants in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
India would also receive a high-level defence delegation from China. This delegation led General Fan Changlong, one of the vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission which controls the Chinese armed forces and is headed by President Xi Jinping – would visit India in the middle of this month.
Though Indian media portrays this visit as a result of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to China and term it as a move towards enhancing defence ties between India and China, yet the defence analysts believe that during the visit Chinese side would advice Indian counterparts to avoid engaging into any conflict along the Indo-China borders.
It is learnt that after concluding visit to India, General Fan’s delegation will visit Pakistan. The Chinese side is likely to pay exclusive tributes to the Pakistani armed forces for establishing peace in the region as a result of Zarb-e-Azb military operation and comprehensively eliminating whatsoever little presence of ETIM was in border areas of Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
