Indian professor: China, India should contribute to global governance through mutual trust

India will host the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Summit on July 4 in virtual mode. The summit has attracted attention amid the current complex context of China-India relation and the increasing risk of global geopolitical confrontation.

In an interview with China Daily, Swaran Singh, a professor of international relations at the Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi, India, said that that there are many similarities between China and India. The consensus formed over the years has enabled both sides to effectively ensure peace and manage irritations reasonably.

However, these practices and mechanisms still face pressure and show fatigue. Both sides should focus on their historic opportunity to contribute to global governance.
