Manoj Kewalramani quoted in The China Project on India and China at the G20 Meet

Manoj Kewalramani, chair of Indo-Pacific Studies and a fellow at Takshashila Institution, was quoted in The China Project. He was quoted as saying:

“This is an important meeting because there has been no high-level bilateral engagement between the two sides since the 20th Party Congress. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xí Jìnpíng 习近平 have had no formal bilateral discussions since late 2019,” Manoj Kewalramani, chairperson of the Indo-Pacific Studies Programme at the Takshashila Institution, told The China Project.

“Foreign Minister Qin Gang has reached out to many of his counterparts from around the world since taking charge, but there has been no outreach to India. So in that sense, bilateral dialogue between the two sides is important,” Kewalramani told The China Project. “But one should not be expecting any significant outcomes in terms of a thaw in bilateral ties. I presume the boundary issue, the G20 agenda, and the SCO summit later this year will be part of the discussions.”
