Creating “new institutional architecture” like the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) could ease “security-first” economics globally, New Delhi’s new top envoy to Beijing has suggested, as both countries work to mend ties.Vikram Doraiswami, who took up the post in May, also called for greater access for Indian products to China and more Chinese investment in India, efforts that he said would benefit relations between the two Himalayan neighbours.The senior diplomat said countries were now “less willing to look at preferential trading arrangements” around the world, adding that beyond tariffs, the global economy faced other barriers in certification processes, export controls, weaponisation of finance, technology and digital infrastructure.
