Abstract

While India and China have been cooperating in a number of science and technology (S&T) fields such as information technology, biotechnology, agricultural machinery, space tech-nology and energy related technologies, there is enormous scope for further cooperation. Private initiatives from the two countries are making S&T cooperation much more plausible. MNCs from India and China are the major players in this evolving S&T cooperation while the governments and university systems have yet to catch up. A few problems that persist need immediate attention. To begin with the two countries do not have adequate information about each other's S&T system. Moreover, the border dispute between the two as well as apprehensions about a negative fall out of each other's peaceful rise need to be addressed.
