Prachanda's proposal for trilateral cooperation between India, Nepal and China seems reasonable on the face of it. However, both China and Nepal should be aware that it will create a lot of misunderstandings in India. The reasons for this are as follows: (1) It is an insufficiently articulated proposal. No details are available. It has not been discussed with India formally. Does the trilateral cooperation confine itself to economic sectors, or does it also include cooperation in social sectors? Does it entail political cooperation too? These are some of the questions that create confusion regarding the objectives behind these proposals.
