India also wishes to establish relations with its other member in the east. We wish for peace, trade, and prosperity across our continent.

[OOC: Our "de facto" capital right now is Shanghai, since Beijing hasn't been included in the territory we own on the map.]
We also would like to establish relations with India. Would you prefer to meet in Bombay or Shanghai?

Honestly I wouldn't mind, but I think our Provisional Secretary of State has always wanted to visit the Great Wall. I'll send him over to Shanghai.

Hello 师傅 and welcome to Shanghai! Let's get started with some diplomacy. What do you think about a free trade agreement?

I think free trade sounds wonderful! What in particular are you interested in trading?

I don't know, maybe some paper byproducts as well as some silk or tea?

How our the rice crops faring? We may need to import some for the famine that is currently occurring.

Even though the harsh winter is striking, we have many farmers working to produce rice crops. We could export some rice to you.
Also, do you have a surplus of lumber? We have a shortage of paper and we need to manufacture more of those paper products!

Of course. Be sure to ship over the paper, we need it for our education program.

"Now to further evolve our relations, would you like to establish an Indian embassy in Beijing? We would love to have a Chinese embassy in Bombay or any city you wish."

Certainly. We shall do the same in Bombay.

"That's great! Would you be interested in writing a free trade pact (or I can do it), with signatures from both of us to make this 'free trade agreement' official?"

"Here it is." The representative gestures to piece of parchment.
By this agreement, the nations of India and the PRC shall henceforth engage in free trade, free from restrictions and inhibitions. This guarantees ships and couriers from both nations safe passage through territorial waters and land. Abha Kawale

"Thank you, I'll sign it now."
Chairman Yun Chen swiftly signs the trade pact.
"So, are you in lack of any supplies? Our current two biggest ports are Shanghai and Guangdong."

'We are currently sufficient, but we will allow free enterprise as it comes between our nations. It is fairly long journey from Dhaka, our nearest major port, to Guangzhou. Perhaps a railroad between our two nations is in order? Once the Calcutta convention gets underway, we could possibly include the NRC in this plan to enhance and quicken trade. Unfortunately, it seems that I have not heard from Rosen Sihamoni for quite a while. Let's hope he is alright."

Definitely. I believe we should also look towards improvement in our agricultural sector. I have outlined my plans for a so called 'Green Revolution' in another thread:
Well, India, always an agricultural nation has been hit pretty severely by this crisis. Though it is currently unclear of the extent of this crisis, it appears that millions are starving, in fact the majority of the population does not get enough food, and that India, as a whole, is on the brink of mass famine. Famines already a common occurrence before the war, are now a common occurrence. Less than 17% of the nation's farmland is well irrigated, with farmers relying mainly on inconsistent rainfall. Indian farmers face a lack of finance, as well as the horrid weather conditions, and food output clearly is not distributed equally. Before the war wee were not self sufficient, relying on imports from around the world. This cannot continue. But we have a plan for this region our nations share. our best scientists, including agronomist Dr. Norman Borlaug and geneticist M.S. Swaminathan are working on producing seeds that yield more produce, more efficiently. One of the top priorities of our government once it is established will be on a nationwide irrigation plan, and the implementation of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to feed our people. This region needs a revolution. We need a Green Revolution.
This could be another priority of the organization when established. After the nuclear winter our rice crops took a severe hit, as I am sure yours have to. We can work together to end hunger in the region, in a joint research effort to create and distributer high-yielding varieties of rice, wheat, an other grains.

"Yes, yes. I believe that together our two countries can prosper in the agricultural department. We should end poverty and hunger together in either the Calcutta Convention/Allied Nations."
