President Xi's decision is regrettable but it is not in India's interest to allow this snub to either overshadow the relationship or narrow India's strategic options.

The Indian elite and foreign policy commentariat, influenced heavily by Western thinking on world affairs, have acquired an exaggerated view of Indian global influence, hitching their wagons to the West rather than stay the course with the South. A return to the basics, placing the developing world's developmental concerns at the heart of global discourse should be the way forward
