China-india Ties

Ahead of an expected meeting between Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang and his Indian counterpart S Jaishankar in New Delhi on Thursday, China said on Wednesday that it "values" its ties with India.

China-India relations have significance not only for the two countries but also have a great bearing on the region and the world at large, Chinese ambassador Sun Weidong has said.

Beijing on Friday concurred with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's observation that an Asian Century cannot happen if India and China don't join hands.

The recent remarks of former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on India's foreign policy are purely and clearly a political message, not a policy one, said the Ministry of External Affairs.

Tax officials on Wednesday conducted searches at the offices of Chinese tech giant Huawei, the firm said, days after New Delhi banned a host of Chinese apps over national security concerns.

As the border standoff between India and China continued for over six months, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Tuesday said there was "cause for concern" but efforts were on to work out solutions.

China today paid rich tributes to former President Pranab Mukherjee, saying he was a veteran statesman and his death is a huge loss for India-China friendship.

Evading questions about the brutal and fatal attack carried out by its troops on the Indian soldiers with iron rods and spikes on June 15, China today also declined to respond to queries on reports of it building a dam on the Galwan river at the China-India boundary to obstruct its flow of water.

Chinese Ambassador to India, Sun Weidong has said that relations between New Delhi and Beijing "go beyond the bilateral scope, and have important and far-reaching strategic significance."

Ancient temples carved into massive rock faces along the ocean will form the backdrop to Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's informal talks aimed at resetting ties strained by border disputes and trade tensions.

Newly-appointed Chinese envoy to India Sun Weidong arrived in New Delhi on Sunday and resolved to work for building better ties between the two Asian giants.

As Chinese President Xi Jinping is set to visit India later this year for his second informal summit with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, China has said the two neighbours should not allow any "individual case" to disrupt the bilateral relations and take more initiatives to move forward the bilateral ties in a steady and sound way.

Chinese President Xi Jinping congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) decimating the opposition and the BJP emerging as the single-largest party in the national election.

The Chinese military said on Thursday that it "always attached importance" to relations with the Indian and Pakistani counterparts and was ready to make more efforts to advance the ties, but kept silent over the absence of ships from its all-weather ally at the fleet review of the 70th anniversary celebrations of China's navy.

A two-day high-profile seminar beginning in Kolkata today on China-India relations has had a last minute setback. On Tuesday, the only speaker from China - a professor at Shanghai University, Guo Xuetang - informed organisers he would not be able to attend the seminar because of visa issues.
