While slamming the Congress-led UPA government for what it said was its weak foreign policy, India’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today called on the Indian Congress government to improve its relationship with neighbouring nations including Sri Lanka, PTI news agency reported.
Addressing the gathering at the BJP National Council in New Delhi, party president Rajnath Singh stressed that while his party favours cordial and friendly relations with other countries, it could not be at the expense of India's self-esteem.
BJP called for improving relations with Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Afghanistan in the light of new geopolitical developments in India's neighbourhood.
The BJP chief said that relations with the US have hit a low which was not seen even after the Pokhran-II nuclear tests under the Atal Bihari Vajpayee regime.
"China's growing economic clout is providing an impetus to its geopolitical ambitions," Singh said.
He made the point that relations between New Delhi and Beijing would improve only when there is a decisive government at the Centre.
