The minister sought to set at rest speculation that his visit to Beijing is being put off by India apparently to express disapproval over its Ambassador Nirupama Rao being summoned well past midnight last Friday by the Chinese Foreign Ministry to register its protest over a group of Tibetans storming the Chinese Embassy in Delhi.
"We have to cancel the trip for the time being, we will seek fresh dates," he told reporters here when asked about the cancellation of his visit and whether it has anything to do with the fresh strain in ties between India and China over the Tibet issue. My trip has not been called off because of any diplomatic reasons, my trip has been cancelled because of problems in dates," he said.
Nath was to visit Beijing for the joint empowered group meeting on April two to review progress made on the negotiations for Regional Trade Agreement which the two countries had decided to put in place.
"Some dates were fixed, they were changed, again fixed and again changed. My trip has been called of because of my engagement here and because of engagement of the Chinese minister," Nath said.
The minister said India's trade with China continues to be healthy. "We are looking forward to achieving record level of trade with China in the current year."
Kalam visualised the following distinctive profile of India to emerge by the year 2020:1. A nation where the rural and urban divide has reduced to a thin line.2. A nation where there is an equitable distribution and adequate access to energy and quality water.3. A nation where agriculture, industry and service sector work together in symphony.4. A nation where education with value system is not denied to any meritorious candidates because of societal or economic discrimination.5. A nation which is the best destination for the most talented scholars, scientists, and investors. 6. A nation where the best of health care is available to all.7. A nation where the governance is responsive and transparent.8. A nation where poverty has been totally eradicated, illiteracy removed and crimes against women and children are absent and none in the society feels alienated.9. A nation that is prosperous, healthy, secure, peaceful and happy and continues with a sustainable growth path.10. A nation that is one of the best places to live in and is proud of its leadership.
Minister of Industries Kamal Nath has to reschedule his trip to China, because of "TIME DIFFERENCE, { A.M.or P.M}"between India and China.Nath goes on to explain his trip was cancelled because of misunderstanding in dates, such as did China occupied Tibet in 2008 or 1952.Chinese are no fool's they know Nath scheduled visit was not to discuss trade and better relation, but to celeberate "April Fools Day."which according to Chinese calender falls next week.
Misson to China? There is no need for Nath to go to Beijing. He can talk to our battery of commies Bhardan, Yechury, Mr and Mrs Karat and of course, the dead and brain dead comrades Basu and Surjeet. If none is available, then N. Ram of Hindu will be his best counterpart. All these are in the payroll of China.
It would have been more effective to be silent about it. No comments and keep chinese guessing.
