India may liberalise visa norms for china further

India is all set to overhaul its security cooperation agreement with China and further liberalise visa norms for the neighbouring country.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in 2005 between the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security for exchange of security-related information to combat terrorism is being revisited .

Impact of the agreement :

India and China will exchange information on terrorist activities, terror groups and their linkages and share experience on anti-hijacking, hostage-like situations and coordinate positions on anti-terrorism endeavours at regional and multilateral levels.

Errol D’Souza ( errol@iimahd.ernet.in ) teaches Economics at IIM Ahmedabad. This is a book of articles on finance and the macroeconomy of India after the global financial crisis, written by those who have a perspective that the editors broadly describe as having a commonality with post-Keynesians. To me the essence of this approach is to stress that in a monetary production economy, the level of economic activity is set by the level of effective demand and that this is usually not consistent with full employment.
