Enhancing the Sino-Indian Strategic and Cooperative Partnership: Historical Legacies and Future Prospects in Bilateral Relations

Abstract

The historical relationship between China and India is long-standing, and the cultivation of a strategic partnership between these two nations is mutually beneficial. This alliance not only promotes bilateral interests but also aids in global policy and security cooperation, fosters global economic recovery, and contributes to the formation of a multipolar world order. Nonetheless, historical disputes and ongoing geopolitical shifts in the Asia-Pacific region pose significant challenges to the advancement of their strategic partnership. To overcome these obstacles, the China-India strategic and cooperative relationship can be strengthened through several measures: fostering cultural exchanges to mitigate hostility, enhancing political mutual trust, and establishing free trade zones.
