Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a routine briefing on Sept. 14
that Xi and Modi have met successfully for three consecutive years and reached a
central consensus that China and India should be partners. Xi said the
countries’ different national conditions mean they can complement each other’s
strengths, support one another and pursue common development. He urged
calibrating direction on the basis of an objective, rational strategic
assessment, pursuing win‑win cooperation, using mutual respect and political
wisdom to remove interference, and advancing stable, long‑term China‑India ties
through open, inclusive multilateral cooperation.
