China India and Pakistan: a powerful triangle

President Obama’s visit to India is highly important from many angles of Afghanistan, Pakistan and China. It shall not only strengthen the bilateral relations between US and India but shall also prove helpful to give stability to Afghanistan with the cooperation of India , and to enable Pakistan to plan a joint operation with India and US to fight terrorism successfully. China's Prime Minister Wen's visit in December shall also carry great significance.


Whether it is India or China, both should regard the sentiments of each other and if one does and the other avoids, naturally the bewilderment continues.
If China determines today from their heart to work shoulder by shoulder with India, and forget the antagonism of misunderstanding against India whatever it might be, and does not help Pakistan out of the way in building their Nuclear arsenals to target India through Kashmir as being assumed by political thinkers, I am sure that the November visit of US President Obama followed by the visit of China’s Prime Minister to India in December, are going to make a big positive difference to boost extra strength to this region.
If China resolves and treats India as its younger brother in this region, and live as genuine partners to each other, no one in the world can shake them in any manner. These two countries can prove giants for the world. Further more, both should treat Pakistan as their younger brother and Mr. Wen has necessary influence over Pakistan to advise it to respect India rather than treating it as a threat to their country.
If Mr. Wen persuades Pakistan to shed all differences with India, all the three powers can work together. The main visit of Mr. Wen should therefore include the agenda item to make Pakistan understand to work in the spirit of a good neighbor with India rather than treating it as a traditional enemy for no apparent reasons, which is damaging for both the countries. It is a good opportunity for India to make Mr. Wen agree to explore more and more opportunities of bilateral trade and also involve Pakistan to do the same whole heartedly, and it is the secret of stability of this triangle.
In my views, Mr. Wen’s visit shall be equal important as that of President Obama, India should persuade him to let both the countries work like good neighbors and involve bilateral trade and good understanding rather than doubting the integrity of each other.
It is a golden chance for India as well as China since on one hand Mr. Wen is considered one of the greatest statesmen of the world, and Mr. Manmohan Singh, on the other, known as the best peace loving Prime Minister who is also expert in economics and his counsel can not only benefit both the countries bilaterally but also to Pakistan, where sought for.
I would only suggest to Mr. Wen that Pakistan, who is under his total influence should make it understand to form the triangle of strength by joining India & China rather than making it otherwise to give chance to terrorist groups to cause more damage to India. Pakistan should not forget that terrorist groups are not loyal to anyone, most of the group alliance has no fear of God and no loyalty, and they can equally cause destruction even in Pakistan and they are doing.
As such the visit of US president on the other side is not only important for strengthening the bilateral ties between US and India but also for the peace in South Asia. Next upcoming month in December, Mr. Wen’s visit shall strengthen the ties from many other angles.
In the end, I would seek positive changes in the policy of China and also in India and Pakistan, to make a powerful triangle and if they do so, the history of power balance shall change and peace shall have a better chance to progress in this region including Afghanistan.
