NEW DELHI: The commerce ministry has told the telecom department that security parameters in the new communications equipment procurement policy should not impact relations between India and China. ET has learnt that the commerce ministry has sent a communication to the Department of Telecom’s (DoT’s) investment promotion cell that security regulations in the new-look telecom equipment procurement policy ‘should not rock the boat, but lend a helping hand’.
“We’ve explained to DoT that the commerce ministry’s intention is not to rock the boat but to lend a helping hand to the Chinese side in enhancing bilateral trade prospects. During the meetings of the joint working group (JWG) and the joint task force (JTF), this is the message we wish to communicate to China,” said a senior bureaucrat in the commerce ministry.
Telecom policy should not hurt Indo China relations.
