In November 2009, United States' President Barack Obama visited China, and Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh went on a state visit to the United States (US). Many in India closely followed President Obama's visit to Beijing, while Dr Singh's trip to Washington was intimately charted in China. Presently, there are three significant issue areas in this triangular relationship that resonate deeply in both New Delhi and Beijing. These are: (1) carbon emission caps; (2) Afghanistan-Pakistan; and (3) the India-US civilian nuclear deal and global non-proliferation regimes.
