Therefore, he said, 'there is no need to panic'. Shri Tarun Vijay urged him to take up the matter with the Chinese at the highest level as Chinese presence in an area which legally belongs to India and is at present under illegal occupation of Pakistan is a matter of serious security concern for us. Shri S.M.Krishna assured that his ministry is in touch with the Chinese Government who claims they are helping development in PoK to which Tarun Vijay repeated the famous words of Ronald Regan 'trust but verify' as Chinese military cooperation with Pakistan poses direct threat to India.
Tarun Vijay also discussed his impressions about the growing prowess of China in infrastructure building, manufacturing and military capabilities as seen by him during his recent China visit. Shri Krishna and Shri Vijay both agreed that India must continue building friendly relations with China while not letting the levels of caution lowered.

We are more US and Europe centric while the future belongs to the East - Tarun Vijay said to which Krishna agreed.
