The India?China Communication Dialogue held during the 31st AMIC Annual Conference marked a significant scholarly intervention aimed at addressing the deep communication deficit between Asia’s two largest powers. Bringing together media scholars, journalists, and regional experts, the dialogue emphasized communication as a foundational tool for rebuilding trust, managing border tensions, and fostering regional cooperation. Speakers highlighted the need for an “Asian Voice,” drawing on shared cultural histories and advocating for renewed people?to?people engagement, journalistic exchange, and academic collaboration. Key discussions underscored challenges in media representation, economic asymmetries, and water and resource security, while proposing concrete mechanisms such as journalist accreditation, joint research centres, intercultural studies, and Track II diplomacy. The session concluded by asserting that sustainable peace and cooperation in Asia depend on institutionalized communication platforms capable of countering misperceptions and supporting long?term bilateral understanding. The dialogue represents a vital step toward reimagining India?China relations for the Asian Century.
