NEW DELHI: In what is seen as an endorsement of tough and assertive stance taken by the Narendra Modi Government during Dalai Lama’s recent visit to Arunachal Pradesh, the 82-Tibetan spiritual leader today compared India-China relations with that between the United States and North Korea and said notwithstanding gestures, either side cannot afford to “fight” each other.
Delivering a talk after receiving the M L Sondhi International Prize for International Politics for 2016, the Dalai Lama said the Sino-Indian relation is now similar to the one between the United States and North Korea.
“One day, either side will be very serious (against each other)…..but in reality no body dare to fight,” he said. The Chinese side also realises, he said, “India is not a small country” and “it has military power now”. Therefore, the Tibetan leader said both sides should be ready to make “compromises” — an obvious reference to dialogue to end the long pending vexed relations between two Asian giants. (AGENCIES)
