China has asked India to act cautiously on Tibet-related issues, while objecting to Union Minister Kiren Rijiju’s remarks that the incarnation of the Dalai Lama should follow his wishes.

Weeks before the Dalai Lama ruled out China’s role in choosing his successor, President Xi Jinping met a Tibetan Buddhist monk installed three decades ago by Beijing as the faith’s No. 2 leader, the Panchen Lama.

Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal stated that any trade agreement between India and the United States will only occur if it benefits both nations. India does not adhere to deadlines for trade agreements.
