maybe a movie, dont love when the story in for my gosh, reliable me so my going wherever they may be. ah, what secrets lie behind these was discover new adventures in 360 degrees and explore fascinating world heritage site d. w world heritage 360 get the app. now this is the dublin years, asia coming up today. will china play mediator or enabler in the ukraine war? it's the question on everyone's mind as president. she jim being arrived in moscow to meet vladimir putin. we look at what to expect and how countries in central asia view this relationship plus another relationship and focus today. the one between

india and japan, japanese prime minister from your kisha, is in delhi to meet an important partner in the in the pacific. ah, i british manager, welcome to the dublin, use asia. glad you could join us. chinese president, she jim pink is in moscow to meet vladimir putin. this just day is off to the international criminal court. george, the russian president with war crimes and ukraine, ahead of the visit, she called this trip journey of friendship, war parisian, and peace. beijing recently circulated a 12 point piece plan for the war and ukraine, that many have criticized for being short on specifics. china and russia already share no limits, bought the ship that their leaders inked last year. and gentlemen are for more is

time or more of a fellow at the carnegie endowment for international peace. he's an expert in china, russia relations, and central asian countries. foreign policy is generally welcome. there's been quite a buzz about china, possibly playing the role of media and the ukraine war. what interest does beijing have in doing so? so, so thank you for having me. when it comes to shooting, please visit to moscow. i think the intention behind china is active as a share of the situation with the russians and b, b for several reasons. first of all, china wants to keep russia is an important asset in this further potential confrontation with the us. here russia is the only country that is on the same page with beijing and is ready to do much more than beijing itself in this confrontation, other than that, china wants to prove to the world that it should be considered as

a global superpower. and as a global superpower, it cannot ignore the most important conflict that we have right now in geopolitical arena. and that is why these actors asian also is a part of that. let's talk about this potential confrontation with the united states and therefore, wanting to keep russia on side. if this is what the aim of china is, all this talk about russia, potentially mediating in the ukraine war would seem misplaced. yes, i don't think that china really sees itself in this war as a peace keeper or a country that would bring peace to ukraine, potentially. that is why if we take a look at the announcement that are being made from the gene, or if we take a look at the piece plan that being published months ago, we won't see it real plan that potentially can change

the situation. ukraine points in this piece plan and contradict each other, and it's just a document that you would point out to any country that would potentially criticize it for ignoring this conflict. so when it comes to please go ahead. sorry. please go ahead. yes. so when it comes to the we're ukraine, i think china's intention here to show that it's ready to provide some ideas and at the same time, not really get involved to do it. let's talk about russia or nations or in an overall context or torque converter to being a global, super foreign showing to the well, the china cannot be ignored and such an important issue of you all to looking at

a china, russia friendship that is trying to sort of seeds are for new norman world order just we might look at is from this perspective, and both moscow in beijing thing that international order should be more fear towards themselves. but russia and trying to use different instruments to make them look more important when, when we talk about russia, russia uses higher power and tries to distract all of the global processes that we've been observing for decades now. but in case of chinese, different china wants to become a very important player in the international order and to change it from the inside . i'd like to talk about the central asia as well. moscow has traditionally seen this region as a part of its sphere of influence. as well, but has that taken

a didn't you think due to the russian versus in the ukraine ball? yes, right now, it might seem that russia in central asia is much less influential. but i think it's even today's too early to jump into this conclusion. rushes to you should be considered as a very important power here in central asia. and most importantly, this is happening before because of the mutual trust that exists between the political beliefs here in the countries of central asia and in russia and no other country. whether it's china or turkey or the u. s. has these level of trust with elite. but when we talk about long term rushes presence in central asia will inevitably decline. and these, you know,

weight come would be replaced by other countries. and china, here is the number one country that would be ready to do that. we live there for that. i mean, but thank you so much for joining us today or tomorrow from the carnegie endowment for international peace. thank you so much. and in keeping with the fame of leaders traveling to meet friends, japanese prime minister from york, you should there is an india where he has met indian lead. not a little more. the both discussed bilateral tires, including technology, cooperation, defense equipment and business partnerships. relation between took you and delhi have only grown closer in recent years, especially with the emergence of china as a pre eminent paul in the region. and joining us now for more is journalists, charlotte, other of in delhi, charlotte prime minister you she done from mr. moore,

the hell, the joint press conference earlier. what has emerged from it? well, time on a stick is she there? as soon as he arrived and deli, up in the, both the leaders that have held a press conference. and they said that the of that the goal of this meeting was to review their global strategic partnership. and they reviewed it. and the, the main areas of review were obviously, you know, within their bilateral ties the defense ties, the digital technology, trade and investment. and if you remember in 2014 prime minister explained minister of japan, chisel arby has voted, had visited india, and 2014 was a year when movie mister movie took over the prime minister ship. it was his 1st payment as a ship of india and both the leaders, they decided that they're going to take the next level in their relationship and they called it a step towards a sort of special, a strategic global partnership. so i think this meeting is

a natural step towards that goal towards realizing that goal. and i mean the economy correlations between the 2 countries. sort of. 5 suffered a setback due to covered up, you know, to few years ago, but now they seem to be back on track. and japan has invested in, you know, a high speed train projects in india, the smart city projects in india. and they seem to be back on track, and both leaders seem to be very pleased with the progress that they're making, especially in job creations in both the countries and the 2 prime minister, mr. k. she the, and mr movie they met tries last year, which is i think, a testament to the fact that, you know, these 2 leaders of a serious about this partnership. and they were there, bilateral trade stood at 20 a 1000000000 us dollars just last year, which was the highest ever so that sort of gives you a backdrop of how significant this meeting is and how serious these 2 leaders are about cooperation. you talked about

a global strategic partnership between both countries in africa. she, there is an indoor with the ukraine war and in the background and wild talk your have sanctioned and condemned russia's actions. new delhi hasn't, has to have had any impact in terms that's true. i, you know, that's, that's one thing that the whole world has been sort of sitting tight and watching india as a position on russia's aggression in ukraine. up in a prime minister, met mister putin last year. and he said that, oh, this is not the time for war, but then he stopped short of a condemnation. so, you know, that's a detriment of the 2 leaders friendship, you know, mr. movie and mr. put in. or they have a thick sort of friendship. and also what has happened since the war began since the conflict began, is the fact that india has started buying more oil than ever from russia. india once more cheap oil from russia and russia happens to be of, you know,

india's largest arms deal. so given this fact job, you know, it's, it's, it's sort of hard for india to take of a strong stand as the western nations have. but then this can also be seen as mr. moody's attempts to stop mister putting from closing up to she, jim pinion, or the china as president. so, you know, it's a vague, calculated sort of decision that the government of india has taken, given the geopolitical realities of this world in a, given how it's affecting the economies, you know, the food and the oil prices around the world. so it's a difficult one, but up so far, the 2 prime ministers of mr. can she the and mr. moody haven't mentioned that word . so it'll be interesting to see of, you know, how they get around that. but the interesting thing is that, you know, one of the goals matches which is to come to china and its influence in the region . and that sort of pays a small part in this whole dynamics. do not let a bit of a bit deeper into this global strategic partnership between the 2 nations. what

really connect the to democracies, what is bringing them close together over the years? well, you know, these are the 2 largest democracies in asia, so it's sort of natural for them to be allowing for sort of greater cause for, for a shared cause. so to say, in fact, apartment is sticky. she the wrote this editorial in an indian newspaper indian express, and i'm an accord from that. he says that a pm and i affirm be a movie and i affirm that any attempt to unilaterally change the state of school by force is unacceptable. now that's a veiled prince to not just the ukraine bowl, but also to china, which is increasing it, muscle bar in the region that japan is very uncomfortable about. and then he goes on to say that not only in the in the pacific, but also in the region. and then he says that, you know, they're both the leaders will be putting an effort towards the realization of free and open indo pacific which they aggravate as f i p. and both the leaders seem to

be agreeing on this, you know, with of a strong stand. so i think this is a vision that is shared by both countries, not just the fact that you know, they are democracies. and they understand, you know, how the values of, you know, how the 2 countries book very, but also, you know, count, the regional influence that china has had in the last few years. really remember the time, in fact someone for joining us to there's only other from been that's it for today . ah imagine how many pollution lunch turn out in the world. climate change very often stores. this is my plan, the way from just one week. how much we can really get

we still have time to act. i'm going with what if i were interested in the global economy, our portfolio d w business beyond. here's a closer look at the project. our mission to analyze the fight for market dominance . get us to the head with d w. business beyond ah, markets grapple with the credit suisse takeover. did regulators get it right? and can the deal help calm anxiety over other major lenders will have the details and analysis. also on our show, the hungarian government welcomes a big investment project from china. not everyone is excited about it. we'll take

a look. i'm seeing beardsley invalid. welcome to our show, central banks and regulators race to reassure markets and customers monday, after one of the world's largest banks exited the global stage and force take over the details of a 3 point. $2000000000.00 deal for credit suisse rattled, some investors. but regulators have sought to make one thing clear. the focus is on depositors and the health of the overall banking system. switzerland's government says it was left with very few choices. and so it said supporting swiss global banking giant u. b. s is take over of rival credit suisse, was the best option to avoid a financial crisis. the bankruptcy of a global systematically important bank would have cost irreparable economic term oil in switzerland and throughout the world. for this reason, switzerland had to take the responsibility.
