What is 2 + 2 negotiation?
It occurs in the defense and foreign ministries of two countries. There have been 2 meetings in the past.
What is the agenda this time?
China's interference in the Pacific and its aggressive behavior in Ladakh will be included in the talks. Because of this, Beca may compromise.
What is Beca?
With the Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement (BECA), India will be able to use special US data for missile attacks. It has the exact geographical location of any region.
Expert View: This is the most favorable time for the Beca Agreement, China will have to talk clearly
According to former Foreign Secretary Shashank, the Beka Agreement becomes very important in the turning point in our relationship with China. So 2 + 2 is at the center of the dialogue. If the agreement is reached, the two countries will increase cooperation in the Jio Special area. During the Kargil War, the US had switched off our GPS, saying that the agreement was for a period of peace. However, after that, we have entered into two agreements Lemoa and Komkasa in the defense sector.
Now our ministers have to keep in mind that the agreement is applicable for wartime also. There are presidential elections in the US, so mere theoretical consensus can hang the case. This situation was once created even when George Bush was president. But, then the opposition parties had said that we want to go with China. Today, in the changed situation, we have to tell America that it is necessary to keep China out on the issue of Iran, otherwise India will be badly engulfed. Because China is trying hard to establish roots in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Nepal.
