French President Jacques Chirac’s visit to India this month to complete the sale of 6 attack submarines to India will confirm once more India’s emergence as an economic and diplomatic powerhouse. The “strategic partnership” that both America and the European Union have at times sought with China looks both more plausible and more desirable with democratic India.
法国总统希拉克本月晚些时候访问印度并签署向印度出售六架攻击潜艇的协议。这将再一次确认印度正在崛起成为经济和外交大国。美国和欧盟在某些时候寻求同中国建立的“战略伙伴关系”看起来与民主的印度更为可行和可取。
