China has a big stake in India's growing market which it would be reluctant to harm industry body ASSOCHAM has said.
"Chinese
stake in the growing Indian market is increasing massively and the
current annual trade surplus of over $40 billion may touch $44 billion
by the end of the current year, " ASSOCHAM said Saturday in a statement.
"It is in the best interest of the two neighbouring countries that
their relations improve and are cemented through expanding commercial
engagement," the industry lobby said in a context of the standoff on the
border between the two countries.
China accounts for over 11
percent of India's total imports, making it a high stake commercial
interest for the neighbouring country.
"At a time when the
Chinese economy, like most other economies of the world, is slowing, its
exports to India would be of vital interest to the Chinese
dispensation.
"In a way, the economic engagement is the best way to bridge all other differences," ASSOCHAM said.
The
industry body said it is looking forward to the India visit of the
Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang next month and is confident that the
two countries would be able to resolve their strategic differences,
including that of the border.
Pointing to the trend in
bilateral trade during 2012-13, when China ran a trade surplus of $40
billion, ASSOCHAM asked for the matter to be raised again with the
Chinese leadership.
“Net-net, it is more in the interest of the
Chinese to stay commercially engaged maintaining the best of strategic
and political relations," ASSOCHAM said.
