Asian giants as key partners

China and India should build cooperation around their shared interests in global governance reform in the 'Asian century'

The significance of China-India relations is strategic and its impact global because both are large developing countries and emerging markets, Premier Li Keqiang told visiting Indian External Affairs Minister Salman Khurshid in Beijing on May 10. On his return to New Delhi, Khurshid said: "India and China have to collaborate for the Asian century."

Giving shape to this vision should be on top of the agenda of the high-level dialogue between China and India during Li's two-day visit to India starting from May 19.
