NEW DELHI - Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said here Saturday that consensus had been reached with the Indian side to firmly support each other so as to ensure the successful organization of the upcoming G20 and BRICS summits.
Speaking to journalists before wrapping up his visit to India, the foreign minister said the major aim of this trip was to conduct strategic communications with India ahead of the G20 summit scheduled next month in China and the BRICS summit to be held in India in October.
On bilateral relations, Wang said the two countries have made all-around progress in a number of areas since the establishment of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government more than two years ago. He cited growth momentum of trade, rapid increase of China's investment in India, railway cooperation as well as humanity and cultural exchanges as fields that enjoy vigorous growth.
The foreign minister stressed that as two neighbors that are both the world's major countries, it is inevitable for China and India to come across certain problems in developing ties. However, the common interests far exceed differences, and the need for cooperation far exceeds competition.
China and India should not let specific differences affect the overall situation of friendly bilateral ties, nor should they let individual problems obstruct the course of cooperation, the foreign minister emphasized.
He said that the two sides have reached consensus that individual problems will eventually be solved through the strengthening of mutual trust and reduction of unnecessary misunderstandings.
