WINDS OF CHANGE At one stage the Chinese and Indian Heads have held an unscheduled meeting without any fixed agenda to assure defense and absorb the shock of parameters of failure. There has been lot of heart burning on Doclam issue and posturing ,rhetoric on both the sides for public consumption .The pinpricks and threatening utterances that followed only indicated hardening of stands on both sides .That in spite of mountain of differences on perception and reality both heads defied world perceptions about their yearning for friendly ties. The brief outcome is a happy event for future progress. The bitterness of denying UN seat in security council, deliberate defiance on M.Azar the terrorist, India`s stand on Kashmir, the two countries have shown that not differences but commonality of interests bind them to gether. The changing world scenario between hostile Nations, makes hard stands non viable for interest of Nations. The thaw in relationship between Koreas, the rapprochement between USA and North Korea, Chinese though it wise to reinvent their relationship with India on a different platform .It is not coincidental that the meeting took place on the same day as the North and South Korea, arch rivals to overshadow the historic , unbelievable summit .It is not land area that dictates policies, but economic survival that promotes understanding, The trade balance between India and China tilts favourably towards China, The dream of China to become a supper power, economic engine must provide the thrust
China may have indirectly, secretly and undoubtedly promoted the understanding between Koreas to consolidate their position on both the sides of divide and to send a message to Trumph USA, that it stills holds the trumps close to its chest. Just the other day the Nuclear threat by North Korea seemed so eminent, that the world was on its edge how to diffuse such an eventuality of horor Hostile Nations in a hostile atmosphere can destabilize the world peace with catastrophic consequences USA not only assured fire power to destroy North Korea to ashes, but moved sophisticated arms close to the belligerent Country in a show of strength, but exchanged words more caustic than expected between them .North Korea in turn launched missiles capable of reaching any part of USA in a show of counter offensive. Now USA and North Korea will hold a summit, which was unthinkable just a moment ago. The outcome of the summit is not the measure of the barometer of success, but genuine approach to break the ice and misunderstanding between two Nations with ample trust deficit The word is relieved of a possible holocaust and Nations are waiting with bathed breadth that the worst case scenario is the past. The understanding and thaw in relationships between antagonistic Nations bodes well for world peace, progress and prosperity. The unity between East and west Germany is the best example of coexistence with different ideologies merged with common interest It is hoped that Pakistan and India instead of breathing and spitting fire at each other will also draw inspiration from the above happenings and learn that it is possible to have understanding without military strength . The gains of war far outweigh the benefits of peace overtures. There are expectations that Soviet Union /Russia and NATO will go extra mile to build confidence boosting measures. Another theater of war is between China and Taiwan and Chinas dominant stand on South China sea, aligning of Nations to stand up to China. Japan is not considering quietly China posturing against it The unity and co operation between Nations in spite of differences and ideologies augurs well for the world peace and progress by diverting the financial resources on war towards economic, welfare activities The dialogue between North and South Korea was unthinkable. The sudden unscheduled meeting between Heads of India and China was unpredictable The meeting between heads of USA and North Korea is miracle of the year .These are signs of hope and expectations Nelson Lopes Chinchinim
