China “appreciated” PM Modi’s “positive” comment on China-India relations | World News
Beijing: China “appreciated” Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “positive” remarks about China-India connections, favoring dialogue with discord, and saying that a collaborative dance between elephants and dragons was the only choice for both sides.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning told the media briefing here, while answering questions about the Prime Minister’s remarks with the US Podcaster Lex Fridman, while Modi pointed out Prime Minister Modi’s recent positive statement on China’s relations and thanked the relationship.
Mao Zedong said the successful meeting between Prime Minister Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Kazan, Russia, provided strategic guidance for improving and developing bilateral relations.
Both sides have earnestly followed an important common understanding, strengthened exchanges and achieved positive results.
“What makes me stress is that in the 2000 interactive history, the two countries have maintained friendly exchanges,” she said.
As two of the largest developing countries, China and India share the mission of accelerating their development, revitalizing and understanding and supporting each other’s success.
She said this provided a fundamental benefit to the basic interests of more than 2.8 billion people, met the shared aspirations of regional countries, and followed the historical trends of the global south, becoming increasingly powerful and conducive to world peace.
She said the two countries should be partners who contributed to each other’s success, and that the ballet dance between dragons and elephants “cooperative Pas de deux” was “the only choice for both sides”, withdrawing the latest comment from Foreign Minister Wang Yi on the development of bilateral relations.
She said China is ready to cooperate with India to implement an important common understanding between the two leaders, take the diplomatic relations of 75 years as an opportunity, and enhance bilateral relations in a stable and reasonable development process.
Modi said in a podcast that he restored the India-China border after his recent talks with President Xi Jinping to ease tensions sparked by the 2020 conflict between the two armies in eastern Ladakh.
He is natural about the differences between neighbors, and sounds optimistic about the connection between two most populous countries in the world, and when two civilizations learn from each other and have little conflict, the differences between neighbors are natural, emphasizing the ancient cultural connections between them.
Their efforts are designed to ensure that their differences do not turn into controversy, rather than discord, he said the two countries once contributed more than 50% of global GDP.
“Our cooperation is not only essential to global peace and prosperity, not only to (mutual use),” he said.
