India wants cooperative ties with China: Menon | India wants cooperative ties with China, said National Security Adviser Shiv Shankar Menon on Tuesday. Participating in a FICCI-organised Sino-Indian interaction,
Menon said: "We want a cooperative relation with China , we want to insure that
as we face big issues which are coming up on the stream that we do it in a cooperative
manner so that we can nogotiate solutions to the big problem of our times and
I think that's exactly what we see in the relationship with china." " China is
our biggest neighbour and as far as our relationship with China is concerned ,
its clear we have an overriding strategic interest in making this relationship
grow in a healthy manner," he added. "We want to transform India ,anything comes
in the way, we will try and avoid that," Menon said. He further described China
as one of India 's major trading partners. "We have managed to bring the relationship
a long way forward in the last few years. We have strong elements of potential
instability in the relationship and I think both sides recognize it. We also have
sensitivities, both of us, on Tibet , on J and K. The question is how skilled
we are to manage it," Menon said. "I don't believe two states with 3000 years
of state craft could not manage it. I think best word to describe the situation
is general non-alignment. I think, in that situation, I don't see our relationship
with the US affecting our relationship with China and vice versa," the National
Security Adviser said. He added: "That's not a calculation or choice we have to
make. This is not a binary world with a zero sum game between all major powers.
That's a big change we see today." (World/International)
Malaysian tour agents cry foul over Air India's Chennai route cancellation Klang
(Malaysia), Nov.2 (ANI): Malaysian tour agents are crying foul over Air India's
termination of its Kuala Lumpur-Chennai route. The management of the tour companies
said the airline had informed them on Friday that the route would be cancelled
from its itinerary from yesterday. Tour agency operator S. Gandhi said Air India's
move to cancel the route was unfair to Malaysian tour agents. "It is peak season
now. Cancelling the route at such short notice is an arbitrary move that will
affect us adversely," The Star quoted him, as saying. He added it was unfair for
the passengers to be forced to travel on Air India Express. Another tour agent
K. P. Samy said the airline should have given sufficient notice before cancelling
the route. Air India said it was working to restore the route.
