Clinton's India Visit Intended to Send a Variety of Messages

Monday, February 14 3:07 PM SGT

WASHINGTON, Feb 14 Asia Pulse - The US views the upcoming visit of President Bill Clinton to India as intended to send a 'variety of messages' and will not focus solely on non-proliferation, according to a media report.
Columnist Jim Hoagland had wrote in the Washington Post that Secretary of State Madeleine Albright told him in an interview that non-proliferation "is an important subject and he (Clinton) would like India to agree to sign the test ban treaty.

"But the visit cannot be judged a success or failure on one issue alone. China should not be overly nervous, but should take account of our efforts to improve our dialogue with the world's largest democracy," she was quoted as telling to the columnist.

Hoagland commented: "The president needs to be realistic about what can be done with this trip to stabilize south Asia's nucler arms race. His fabled powers of persuasion should be directed at getting India to agree not to deploy nuclear warheads and to open discussion with the U.S. on the storage, safety, command and control of nuclear arms."

"China," said Hoagland, "is determined to keep India and Japan from challenging its claim to be the only true Asian global power.

It is already on edge about the effect of the Clinton trip to India. Chinese diplomat Liu Xiaoming "said bluntly in a conversation with the post: "We are concerned that the US will make a compromise with India, to make the president's visit seem more successful. But the benchmarks are not to be lowered. We must make sure they (India) will never deploy nuclear weapons." - (mohan->That is a laugh coming from China)
