'India's Goodwill Comes With No Strings Attached': CDS General Rawat Takes A Dig At China, Asks Nepal To Learn From Sri Lanka

Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat on Thursday (17 December) in an indirect attack on China warned neighbouring Nepal to be 'vigilant' of the economic superpower and said that unlike Beijing, India's goodwill does not come with strings attached.

Speaking at an event, General Rawat took a dig at China while advising Nepal to learn from Sri Lanka's experience in dealing with Beijing.

"India's goodwill comes with no strings attached. Nepal is free to act independently in international affairs but must be vigilant & learn from Sri Lanka & other nations which have also signed agreements with other countries in the region," General Rawat was quoted by ANI as saying.
