LIVE | India vs China: PLA Woos Sri Lanka and Nepal After the Maldives | Vantage with Palki Sharma

Recently, the decision by Maldives President Mohamad Muizzu to sign a military pact with China garnered significant attention. Generals from the PLA visited Male to finalise the deal. Interestingly, besides Maldives, the PLA delegation also visited Sri Lanka and Nepal. Beijing aims to strengthen ties in South Asia to counter India's influence strategically. Last week, the Maldives announced signing a "military assistance" agreement with China, prompting the withdrawal of Indian troops from the strategically-positioned archipelago. The Chinese military stated on its official WeChat account that discussions in all three countries revolved around military relations and regional security concerns. The delegation from the military's international cooperation department engaged in detailed talks to enhance bilateral defence cooperation. Palki Sharma tells you more.

    With what China is doing India may have to increase it's ties with the west. Although I would start with Australia.
  • Palki Thanks Touching story of the IRON BOY WHO BECAME AN IRON MAN! Wow. My MD is nothing compared to what he went through. I’ve been taught since childhood to look at those who are less fortunate. Of course, my MD progressed (worsened) after 50 and at 77 I feel blessed. I’m still working as a CPA in USA preparing about 150 tax returns. So I am blessed.

    From a geopolitical standpoint, India is one of the hardest countries to defend militarily. Himalayas are the only thing we have in our favor. We are surrounded by hostile countries as well as smaller countries that don't mind becoming our enemy as well as some of the world's most powerful countries being against India's development from the start. We also have a very long and triangular coast line that makes things really hard for the Indian navy to co-ordinate. Any leader who can successfully defend India against a Chinese invasion against all these odds can certainly do even better if they are put in the same position of most other countries.

    Don't worry sri lankan people will never agree any bad to Indian people. They will remain as brothers and sisters thousands years to come.
  • @yaphonghor4409
    Palki should come out with a few sessions to talk about US more than 800 military bases all over the world, about American intentions, agenda and aggressive hegemony!
  • @nikhilbarboz4807
    I am starting to get a feeling that the news are more nationalist with regards to India. Palki never criticize BJP or related leaders or policies.
  • @waldensmith4796

  • @akambajanch4063
    Shouldn't there more focus on what's ailing inside our country than outside.
  • @ratnakamal1
    Why doesn't Bharat work towards getting a naval base in Vietnam, and it needs to reiterate its security concerns with SL, BD, and Myanmar.
