Want to increase understanding with India: Chinese PM
New Delhi, Aug 8 (PTI) China Saturday expressed
readiness to work towards increasing mutual understanding and
confidence with India as the two sides concluded two-day
boundary talks on a satisfactory note and agreed to maintain
"peace and tranquility" in the border areas pending the
settlement.
In a special message to India's Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said it was in the
interest of both the countries to maintain "peaceful
co-existence and seek common development which is also
exerting deep and far impact on Asia and the whole world".
The message conveyed through Chinese State Councillor
Dai Bingguo, who met Singh, said "China is willing to work
with India to increase mutual understanding and confidence,
enhance cooperation in all fields, and seek new progress in
building the Sino-India Strategic Cooperative Partnership."
Singh responded by saying that India completely agrees
with Wen's sentiments and seeks to strengthen Strategic
Cooperative Partnership.
Describing China as a cooperative partner, Singh said
India was willing to work towards expanding and deepening
bilateral ties and work with it to promote peace, stability
and prosperity in Asia and the world.
The message came as Special Representatives of the two
countries concluded deliberations, expressing "satisfaction at
the progress" being made in the boundary talks and agreeing to
maintain "peace and tranquility" in border areas pending
settlement.
Singh also told Dai that before the two countries
settle the boundary issue, both sides should work for the
maintenance of peace and calmness in the border areas.
The Prime Minister also hoped that the two countries
would make further efforts to reduce differences and find a
solution to the boundary issue to mutual satisfaction,
according to Chinese official news agency Xinhua.
India's External Affairs Ministry spokesman Vishnu
Prakash said the talks between National Security Adviser M K
Narayanan and Dai were held in "cordial and friendly"
atmosphere.
For the first time, apart from the boundary issues,
the discussions covered a broad agenda which included the
entire gamut of bilateral relations and regional and
international issues of mutual interest.
Describing relations with China as a "key foreign
policy priority for India", Narayanan noted that there has
been a significant expansion in bilateral cooperation in areas
such as trade and investment, defence, culture, education and
people-to-people exchanges."
Reciprocating the sentiments, Dai hoped that the two
countries will jointly meet global challenges in the spirit of
the Shared Vision, signed during Singh's visit to China in
January 2008.
"China takes a positive view of India's development
and progress, and also supports a bigger role for India in
international affairs," Dai said.
Both sides noted that the Strategic Cooperative
Partnership established between India and China in 2005 was a
major milestone in the relationship. PTI PYK
