India-China Policy Dialogue

RIS has established contacts with a number of Chinese think-tanks to facilitate policy dialogue and exchange of views on development issues of mutual interest. Following the visit of DG-RIS to the Development Research Centre (DRC) of the State Council of China in April 2003 and subsequent discussions, a high-level delegation of DRC led by Dr Sun Xioau, Vice-President and Vice-Minister visited RIS in March 2004 when a Joint Policy Dialogue on certain issues concerning economic reforms and macroeconomic performance, trade and WTO related issues took place. Subsequently DRC proposed an MoU to be signed between the two institutions to continue such dialogue and invited RIS to visit DRC.
