Prime Minister Narendra Modi's join statement with Chinese Premier Li
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said a truly Asian century would depend on whether India and China can overcome difficulties and modernise.
Here are 5 quotes from PM Modi's speech
Our relationship has been complex in recent decades. But we have a historic responsibility to turn this relationship into a source of strength for each other and a force of good for the world.
Asked China to reconsider its approach on some of the issues that hold bilateral ties back from realising full potential of our partnership. I suggested that China should take a strategic and long term view of our relations. I found the Chinese leadership responsive.
I found sensitivity to our concerns on (border) issue and interest in further intensifying confidence building measures. I also reiterated the importance of clarification of Line of Actual Control.
This is one of our most important strategic partnerships because of the re-emergence of India and China and the relationship will have a profound impact on the two countries.
We agreed that as we move ahead, we should be sensitive to each other's interests; strengthen mutual trust and confidence; continue to manage our difference with maturity; and, seek solutions to outstanding issues.
