China Supportive of India's UN Aspirations - Pratibha Patil


New Delhi, May 31 (IANS) China "understands" and "supports" India's desire for a permanent seat in a reformed United Nations Security Council, President Pratibha Patil said Monday as she returned from her state visit to that country.

"I focused attention on India's aspiration for permanent seat in a reformed United Nations Security Council. President Hu (Jintao) and Premier Wen (Jiabao) were understanding and supportive for India's desire," Patil said in a statement made on board her special aircraft.

Her special aircraft landed in Delhi about 4.30 p.m after her six-day trip that took her to Beijing, Luoyang and Shanghai.

She said President Hu also reiterated support for India's candidature for a non-permanent seat in the UNSC for 2011-2012.

"My interaction with the Chinese leadership was warm, friendly and cordial. Our discussions were constructive, wide-ranging and fruitful. We agreed to expand, deepen and diversify the strategic and cooperative partnership between our countries," added Patil.

Both sides also pointed out that relations between the two Asian powers were of global import. "We acknowledged that the India-China relationship has gone beyond its purely bilateral aspect and also has a global dimension," she said.

    Our late Prime minister Nehru, and his minister Krishna Menon were also of the same opinion, that President Pratiba Patil carries today. But history has taught us they are not trust worthy.

    Dear President..Pls understand that CHINA SUPPORTIVE OF MAOIST'S ATTACK IN INDIA. When you were in Shangai,our innocent 150 train passengers were killed by Maoists. Ordinary tribal people can't make systematic attack on our soldiers or Government property.They were given arms and ammunitions by China to destabilize India.Thats why ex Defence Minister said "China is NO.1 Enemy of India" .His opinion is becoming true now.Unfortunately you didn't mention anything about Arunachal Pradesh or Maoists problem to Chinese PM or President.You were happy that you inaugurated TEMPLE in China. Last time when you were in Indonesia for a holiday trip,Pak trained terrorists killed 160 people in Mumbai.Now 150 people in train tradgey.So, pls stop your TRIP to save our people .I am little superstitious.

    INDIA AND CHINA BHAI- BHAI SITUATION,IF IT IS TRUE,CHINA SUPPORTIVE INDIA'S ASPIRATION OF UN PERMENANT SEAT ,THAT WOULD CHANGE THE SENARIO OF ASIAN POLITICAL,ECONOMICAL,GEOGRAPHICAL AND ISSUE OF TERRORISM.
