There is widespread consensus that as two rising powers, India and China will have progressively more to do together at the regional and global levels and that their cooperation needs to be strengthened and expanded. This book represents the first occasion where academic specialists and retired military personnel from both countries have come together with serving military officers to give their views on a number of important and sensitive topics ranging from nuclear CBMs to maritime cooperation to terrorism. It is hoped that the debates engendered in this volume, will contribute to better understanding and the improvement of bilateral ties not just in the security domain but also in other fields in which the two countries are increasingly engaged.
