BEIJING: Emphasising on India-China bilateral ties, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi on Monday said that the strategic interests of the neighbouring countries outweigh differences and “partial fractions”.
Tackling Doklam standoff through diplomacy denotes good neighbourliness between the two countries.
“We have handled the issue of cross-border incursions by the Indian border troops into China’s Donglang (Dokalam) area through diplomatic measures,” PTI quoted Wang as saying.
Wang’s statement came ahead of his visit to India to attend the Russia-India-China (RIC) foreign ministers’ meeting which was scheduled to be held in New Delhi.
The Foreign Minister said China always values good neighbourliness and friendship with India as “we are each other’s big neighbours and ancient civilisations”.
Wang further said, “Through diplomatic means, the Indian side withdrew its equipment and personnel which reflected the value and importance of China-India relations and demonstrated sincerity and responsibility of maintaining regional peace and stability.”
“China and India have far greater shared strategic interests than differences, and far greater needs for cooperation than partial friction,” he added.
