Q: Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke highly of China-India relations in his recent interview with TIME, saying that China and India have shown great maturity in the last couple of decades. What is China’s
A: We have noted the relevant report and express appreciation for Prime Minister Modi’s positive remarks which fully demonstrate the broad consensus on China-India relations shared by leaders of the two countries.
Recent years have seen frequent high-level interactions, increasing political mutual trust and all-round progress of exchanges and cooperation between China and India in various fields. Last year, during President Xi Jinping’s successful visit to India, leaders of the two countries reached important consensus on deepening China-India strategic cooperative partnership for peace and prosperity, agreed to build a closer partnership of development and mapped out China-India strategic cooperation in the coming five to ten years. The two sides have also maintained the sound momentum of negotiation on the boundary question, properly managed differences and jointly upheld peace and tranquility in the border areas.
Prime Minister Modi is coming to China for an official visit as new opportunities for the development of bilateral relations present themselves. The Chinese side is ready to work with the Indian side, take the visit as an opportunity, build up the sound momentum of developing bilateral relations and bring China-India relations to a new high.
