印度总理莫迪本月14日至16日访问中国,为创造良好气氛,印方正考虑简化中国游客的签证手续,两国军方也持续努力维护中印边界稳定。
据《印度时报》8日报道,印度政界人士透露,尽管情报部门一直对简化中国游客入境印度的举措保持警惕,但印度已经到向中国这个庞大客源国示好的时候了。目前印度对40多个国家和地区实行入境电子签,72小时内可办理完成入境手续。报道称,该政策此前一直将中国拒之门外,除了“国家安全”的考虑,印度方面一直将对华签证便利化与边界问题挂钩,认为如果中国不承认“阿鲁纳恰尔邦”(即中国藏南地区)居民的印度籍身份,就对中国游客入境印度持审慎态度。《印度时报》透露,在莫迪访华前夕,这种签证问题的“拉扯”将结束,印度不会再把边界问题与签证手续挂钩。届时,中国游客会得到电子签待遇,同时取消两次入境印度旅游需两个月间隔期的规定。
在边界问题上,中印两国在过去近3个月里一直维护相对稳定的局面。《印度快报》7日转引莫迪的话说:“中印两国都已从历史中吸取教训,中印边界将不再是动荡之地。”另据印度《经济时报》8日报道,近两周时间里,中印两国在争议地区举行了4次高级军事官员会晤,确保边界继续保持稳定。
