Photograph: Mukesh Gupta/Reuters The extraordinary joint statement ( external link ) last Friday at the level of the directors generals of military operations of India and Pakistan came like a bolt from the blue. Of course, it is preposterous to contemplate that the Indian Army went out on a limb without political directive, or that some 'grand bargain' involving India, China and Pakistan is unfolding. From such a premise, what needs to be understood is as regards the Indian calculus. The government is taking time to voice an official opinion on Friday's development even after Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan's tweets ( external link ) on Saturday. But actions speak better than words and ... » Learn More about Is Modi weighing his options on Pakistan?

New Delhi: Chinese investments in sectors critical for India or where local companies don’t have adequate capacity will be considered for approval but the country is unlikely to adopt an open-door policy any time soon, according to people familiar with the matter. This is part of a three-pronged standard operating guideline the administrative ministries will follow for vetting Chinese investments in India. The other two types of proposals that will get a green light will be those from companies or investors headquartered elsewhere but routing funds via Hong Kong and those that entail small investments by Chinese investors. Security clearance would continue to be mandatory in all the three cases. “Proposals are being examined as per three key guidelines... Any proposal entailing large investment would have to be in a critical area where there is minimal or negligible local presence,” said a government official. Border tensions escalated between the two countries last year. ... » Learn More about Large Chinese FDI only in sectors critical for India

It would be realistic to see India's position on the DGMOs joint statement more as 'engagement, different from dialogue', where our subsequent options could be decided depending on the realities of the situation on the ground, notes Rana Banerji, who headed the Pakistan desk at the Research and Analysis Wing, India's external intelligence agency.

Photograph: Mukesh Gupta/Reuters The inherent fragility of any attempt at peace-making between two historically hostile neighbours notwithstanding, reiteration by the directors general of military operations of India and Pakistan, on February 26, 2021, of the need for 'strict observance of all agreements' on ceasefire along the Line of Control needs to be welcomed by 'hawks' and 'doves' on both sides.
