The recent meeting between India's SM Krishna and China's Yang Jiechi illustrates the importance of public diplomacy in contemporary world politics.
The meeting in Beijing on 7/04/2010 between these top officials resulted in an agreement being signed for a 'hotline' to be placed in both Prime Ministers offices so they can speak with ease anytime they want to discuss issues such as climate change and the global financial crisis, This will develop India and China's bilateral relationship dramatically.
This is the first time India have signed an agreement of this kind with any country so the possibility of major development and change based on these country's working together could affect world politics in numerous ways due to the dramatic economic development these states have had in the last decade.
The following article is from china daily explaining the importance of the visit

Main points to take note of are the opportunity for China and India's relationship to develop as a result of this public diplomacy has increased. In the worlds current climate with the United States economy less productive as they would like means strong relationships between other powerful states such as India and China are not in their favor depending on how far this relationship goes could change big things. The meeting also indicates that there will be plenty more public demonstrations of India and China working side by side which could minimise certain threats from Pakistan and pose a threat to the United States
'reputable' opinions/actions as depending on the growth of these emerging superpowers they may create a mouth bigger than Americas.
