Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his inaugural speech at Raisina Dialogue 2017 held in New Delhi said, "I see development of India and China as an unprecedented opportunity for our two countries and for the whole world; and at the same time , it is not unnatural for two large neighboring powers to have some differences. In the management of our relationship, and for peace and progress in the region both our countries need to show sensitivity and respect for each others core concerns and interest. Prevailing wisdom tells us that this country belongs to Asia. The sharpest trajectory of change is happening in Asia. There are large and vibrant pools of progress and prosperity spread throughout the landscape of this region. But rising ambitions and rivalries are generating visible stress points. The steady increase in military  power, resources and wealth in the Asia-Pacific has raised the state of insecurity. Therefore the security architecture in the region must be open, transparent, balanced and inclusive. And, promote dialogue and predictable behavior rooted in international norms and respect for sovereignty.
