“China will work with India to act on the strategic guidance of the two leaders, handle bilateral relations from a strategic height and long-term perspective, step up communication and enhance cooperation, properly handle differences, and be friends enjoying good neighbourliness and partners helping each other,” she said.
“One of the biggest highlights will be [President] Xi’s trip to India after seven years,” Wang Youming, an expert on China’s relations with developing countries at the China Institute of International Studies (CIIS), was quoted as saying in the official China Daily on Friday.
“China and India are not only close neighbours but also founding members and major participants in BRICS. The state of their relationship has a direct bearing on the development of the mechanism. Multilateral platforms can create opportunities for bilateral engagement, while improving bilateral relations can, in turn, facilitate coordination within multilateral mechanisms.”
