Why India doesn't take part in Belt and Road initiative of China?
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
China failed to get India’s support for its ambitious Belt and Road infrastructure project at the end of a meeting of a major security bloc on Tuesday.
The scheme is Chinese President Xi Jinping’s landmark initiative to build infrastructure to connect China to the rest of Asia and beyond, a giant reworking of the old Silk Road.
India has not signed up to the initiative as parts of one key project, the US$57 billion China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, runs through Pakistan-administered Kashmir, which India considers its own territory.
Whether or not China will be able to bring India round to the project is likely to be a key measure of the success of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s trip to China for an informal meeting with Xi on Friday and Saturday.
