Indian foreign minister Jaishankar says ‘not closed to business from China’

Foreign minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar said in Berlin on Tuesday ( Sep 10 ) that India is not” closed to business from China,” but the problem is in which industries the nation does business with Beijing and when.

Since 20 Indian and four Chinese soldiers died in 2020 due to conflicts between their soldiers on their essentially unmarried Himalayan frontier, relations between the nuclear-armed Asian giants have become disturbed.

In the future, India has increased its investigation of purchases from Taiwanese businesses and halted significant projects.

However, federal officials, including Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, have lately backed tips to help more Foreign investment in the country.

According to the most recent annual economic study released in July, India can either combine into China’s supply chain or encourage foreign direct investment ( FDI) from China.

” We are never closed to firm from China… What are your business’s words and sectors, in my opinion? At a meeting in Berlin, Jaishankar stated that it is “many times more challenging than a black and white linear solution.”

In a July report from Reuters, India may ease restrictions on Chinese investment in less-sensitive fields like solar panel and battery production, where New Delhi lacks experience and impedes local manufacturing.

Slowly moving forward are diplomatic and military discussions attempting to put an end to the defense impasse in the Himalayas.

India has almost completely withdrawn visas from all Chinese citizens since 2020, but it is considering easing them for Taiwanese professionals because it had hampered opportunities for billions of dollars.
