New Delhi: China today said it looked forward to working with India to follow through on
the existing common understandings and on that basis continue the in-depth communication to jointly
keep the border areas peaceful and tranquil.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said while commenting on Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s ongoing visit to India that Beijing hoped to work with New Delhi to deliver on the important common understandings between the leaders of the two countries.
In October 2024, President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi had a successful meeting in Kazan, charting the course for improving and growing the China-India ties.
‘’Through Foreign Minister Wang Yi’s visit, China hopes to work with India to deliver on the important common understandings between the leaders of the two countries, keep the momentum of high-level exchanges, enhance political mutual trust, strengthen practical cooperation, properly handle differences and promote the sustained, sound and steady development of China-India relations,’’ the spokesperson said.
She said the talks between the Special Representatives (SRs) of China and India on the Boundary Question is a high-level channel for the two countries’ boundary negotiations.
In December last year, the 23rd round of talks was successfully held in Beijing, and the two sides reached several common understandings on delimitation negotiations, border management, mechanism building, and cross-border exchanges and cooperation.
