Strategic Importance

The relationship has to be assessed through diplomacy, trade, security interests and India’s wider foreign-policy interests.

Public diplomatic positions can create a trust deficit.
Strategic interests may require engagement even when political disagreements remain.
Economic and people-to-people ties can be affected when bilateral tensions become public.
Way Forward
The way forward lies in protecting core national interests while keeping diplomatic, economic and people-to-people channels open where they serve long-term interests.
