New Delhi: While taking a dig at the Bhartiya Janta Party's foreign policy, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday over Bhutan and China signing a pact on border talks said that the centre's foreign policy is all about how to lose allies and influence nobody.
Recently on Thursday, Bhutan's Foreign Minister Lyonpo Tandi Dorji and China’s Assistant Foreign Minister Wu Jianghao signed a pact to expedite the negotiations to resolve the border disputes.
“GOI’s foreign policy: How to lose friends and influence nobody,” Gandhi tweeted on Friday along with a media report over the pact signed between Bhutan and China.
India on Thursday carefully reacted to the Bhutan-China agreement on a “three-step roadmap” to expedite the negotiations to resolve the border issues. “We have noted the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between Bhutan and China today. You are aware that Bhutan and China have been holding boundary negotiations since 1984. India has similarly been holding boundary negotiations with China,” Arindam Bagchi, Ministry of External Affairs official spokesperson was quoted by PTI in its report.
“The MoU on the three-step roadmap will provide a fresh impetus to the boundary talks,” Bhutan's Foreign Ministry was quoted by PTI in its report.
