India, China and Japan, the three leading Asian powers, must hold trilateral strategic dialogues "to deepen mutual trust and ensure peace, stability and development in Asia", a leading Chinese scholar has said. "China, India and Japan should initiate strategic dialogues which would not only be beneficial for enhanced mutual trust but also for regional peace, stability and development," Deputy Director of the Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies under the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Professor Sun Shihai said. "There is already bilateral strategic dialogue mechanism between China and India and China and Japan. We should try and promote a trilateral strategic dialogue between the three major powers for the benefit of Asia as a whole," Sun told The Press Trust of India (PTI) here while commenting on Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's just-concluded visit to India.
