The 2nd China-India Strategic Economic Dialogue (SED) took place in Delhi on 26 November 2012. Coming at a time when the global economic outlook is hardly bright and both countries are visualising modest economic outlooks but when bilateral trade is growing at a fast clip, the SED was awaited for its decisions on future bilateral economic cooperation. While not announcing any radical initiatives, the Dialogue has built up on the momentum generated during the first meeting in Beijing in September 2011 by focusing primarily on cooperation in infrastructure and energy.
