LDALL PM 3 LAST

Wen, while felicitating Singh on his re-election,
recalled that in the past years they had reached important
agreements on developing and strengthening bilateral ties.

"This serves the interests of the two countries, the
region and the world," he said while stressing the importance
of high level visits to this end.
Terming his meeting with Wen as productive, Singh said
it was a "good discussion" and the two sides agreed to further
promote strategic and cooperative partnership and seek to
build trust and understanding.
Singh, while reviewing with Wen the bilateral relations
in all aspects, said he would like to see the ties move
forward in every direction.
He described the economic and trade relations as "a
vital pillar of our partnership" and referred to the exchanges
in the defence field.
Singh noted India's readiness to cooperate with China on
global issues like climate change, world trade and the global
financial crisis.
Both the Prime Ministers agreed that the partnership
between the two countries was in the interest of the region
and the whole world.
Wen made a pitch for friendly and cooperative relations
to ensure that Asian Century becomes a reality.
Xinhua quoted Wen as saying that "we have reached
important consensus on promoting bilateral ties, and I believe
that our two countries could maintain a good relationship in
the future, which conforms with the interests of the two
countries and I have confidence about that." PTI PC
