Abstract [English]

China and India have a rich history of vibrant civilisations and diverse cultures, with distinct political, economic, and cultural ties. Despite their longstanding relationship, trade disputes and border conflicts have deteriorated in the modern era. India's historical distinction as the first non-aligned nation to establish diplomatic relations with China underscores the unique background of their interactions. Indian prime ministers have been working to strengthen ties with China, but hostility and rivalry have been common. The 1962 China-India conflict serves as a notable example of the tensions between the two nations. This paper investigates how the economic cooperation between China and India can contribute to sustainable development, examining the historical context and current diplomatic efforts. It delves into how cooperation between China and India can positively influence regional stability and contribute to global economic growth. Despite their long history of territorial disputes and military conflicts, there exists significant potential for mutual development and prosperity through sustained diplomatic efforts and cooperation in various sectors. By fostering stronger economic ties, both countries can benefit from increased trade and investment opportunities, leading to mutual growth and stability in the region. Furthermore, collaboration in areas such as infrastructure development and technology transfer can help address common challenges and pave the way for a more prosperous future for both nations.
