Proposals for Future Trilateral Cooperation

Abstract

The article suggests proposals for future Trilateral Cooperation between China, India and Russia. The meeting of ministers of foreign affairs of China, India and Russia should constitute a regular consultation mechanism. Meetings between ministers of science and technology and ministers of energy should also be arranged. Trilateral consultation could also continue within other broader multilateral forums and organisations. Prior to each academic trilateral meeting each delegation should formulate its own proposals for trilateral interaction. During the meeting the proposals on which all three are in agreement can be identified. This latter set of proposals agreed to by all three delegations must then be presented by each delegation to their respective governments. The delegations would then have to prevail on their governments to consider, adopt and implement this set of proposals. Those proposals that are not agreed to by all three can be set a side for further research and consultation.
