China and India have come a long way. The confidence building measures are on for a long time. Neither side could easily trust the other side since the 1962 skirmish.

The two countries are trying their best to solve their border dispute. The common sense of needing each other in defense, economics and trade is bringing the two Asian giants.

Bangalore and Shanghais are ready to work towards high tech trade and developments. But most interestingly, in a significant move, India and China have decided to hold the first ever Joint Army exercises aimed at developing bilateral military to military level confidence building measures.

It is the first step towards forming the NATO like Asian Military Alliance. It may be the badly needed counter balance to NATO alliance that dominates the world.

The decision to hold joint exercises comes as a follow up of two countries claiming "substantial and satisfactory" progress in discussions on Joint services issue during the just concluded visit to China by a high level tri-service delegation led by Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee General JJ Singh. "The dates, details and scope of the first ever joint maneuvers between the two armies is being worked out," an army release said here. Though, an army spokesman did not spell out the nature of Joint maneuvers, Singh before his departure for Beijing had told media reporters that the People Liberation Army was interested in conducting anti-terrorism maneuvers.
