Chandigarh, July 3: Today, Pramod Sharma, Coordinator of Yuvsatta-NGO, appealed to Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi to personally take a lead and talk to his counterpart President Mr. Xi Jinping of People's Republic of China. So that there is ease in present day tensions between both neighbours and one can focus more on building India from within, especially in these unprecedented Covid times.

Mr. Pramod Sharma, in his appeal through a Poster posed with a statue of Mahatma Buddha at famous Sukhna Lake of the city, shared that in past 7 years, since 2014, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had met 18 times the President Mr. Xi Jinping of People's Republic of China. Now, what stops him from extending a hand of friendship for the 19th time for the sake of the nation. More importantly for world peace and harmony in Asia, Shri Modi should talk to President Mr. Xi Jinping to build a relation of mutual trust and understanding, finally resolving our long-standing border dispute with our long standing neigbours.

Yuvsatta NGO, which started initially as a newspaper, has been working since 1990 to promote youth leadership & transformative change. And in the past, they have organized numerous Indo-China exchange programmes to further strengthen our age-old cultural, historical relations. Pramod Sharma added that India-China cultural exchanges date back to many centuries and there are some evidence that conceptual and linguistic exchanges existed in 1500- 1000 B.C. and from hundreds of years Chinese pilgrims were used to undertook journeys to India, the most famous among them being Fa Xian and Xuan Zang.
