Message from Wuhan

  • That despite bilateral and geopolitical differences, India and China can resolve differences peacefully and through prolonged dialogue.
  • The Wuhan summit has recommitted India and China to managing bilateral relations in a manner that creates the conditions for the “Asian Century”
  • Much will depend on whether the Wuhan understanding can prevent skirmishes and misunderstandings becoming standoffs, as in the past
