General Bikram Singh, the Indian Army Chief is heading towards China tomorrow, the 2nd of July. China is expecting an Indian Army Chief’s visit after nine years. The chief is making this as an emphasis on increased military to military contact between the armed forces of India and China. The visit to China is a three day trip.

Singh is scheduled to meet the Vice President of China. Apart from that he will also hold a one-on-one meeting with the Vice Chairman of Central Military Commission and the Chief of General Staff of the People’s Liberation Army. General Bikram Singh is also expected to address the National Defence University of China. According to Ndtv this visit contributes to the plan for Confidence Building Measures or CBMs drawn up earlier this year by the two neighbours, who treat each other warily, not the least because of their long-standing border dispute. According to the plan, 10 Chinese and nine Indian military delegations are to visit each other throughout this year.

A Chinese PLA delegation led by one of its top military leaders, the deputy chief of general staff (operations)  Lieutenant General Qi Jianguo, visited India in April this year and a team from  the Indian Army’s Eastern Command is scheduled to visit the Lanzhou Military Area Command in Gansu Province later this year. Also this week, for the first time, a Chinese military-media delegation will be in India to hold talks with the Indian Defence Ministry’s media and publicity wing.
