Taking a step towards closer economic ties with China and to deliberate on macro economic issues, a team led by NITI Aayog Vice-Chairman Arvind Panagariya will engage in a dialogue with China's Development Research Centre (DRC) from Monday.
It will be the first dialogue between NITI Aayog and the DRC after the body was constituted to replace the erstwhile Planning Commission, said an official.
The two-day meeting will be held in Beijing. DRC is directly under the State Council of China and does research on strategic, long-term issues pertaining to economic and social development.
According to the meeting's agenda, there will be deliberations on opportunities and challenges for both the nations in the current global economic scenario.
