India's foreign policy has become vibrant and assertive under the Modi Government with its risk-taking ability also on the rise. <br/><br/>This was stated by Rong Ying, Vice President of China Institute of International Studies, a think-tank affiliated to Chinese Foreign Ministry, in an article in the CIIS journal, the first of its kind by a Chinese think tank on the Modi Government so far. <br/><br/>He said over the past three years, India's diplomacy has been vibrant and assertive, and has formed a distinctive and unique 'Modi Doctrine', a strategy for the rise of India as a great power in the new situation. <br/><br/>Rong, who also served as a diplomat in India, took a critical look at India's relations with China, South and South East Asia, India's closer relations with US and Japan, saying Indian foreign policy under him has become increasingly assertive while offering mutual benefits. <br/><br/>On India-China ties, Rong said since Modi took office, the development of overall relations between the two countries has maintained steady momentum. Rong, also a senior research fellow at the CIIS, said India and China should stick to the strategic consensus of mutual support for each other's development. <br/><br/>On the future formula for ties, he said as major countries on the rise, India and China are both partners and competitors. <br/><br/>India's huge market potential will bring about opportunities for the successful transformation of China's economy, especially for Chinese enterprises going global,he added.
