China and India must enhance mutual trust : Chinese President XI

Beijing, May 15 (IBNS) Chinese President Xi Jinping told visting Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the two countries should enhance mutual trust by "controlling their differences" and strengthen cooperation between the two Asian giants.

"We must work together to enhance mutual trust, control our differences and problems to avoid them interfering with bilateral relations,"  Xi was quoted as telling PM Modi, according to a statement late on Thursday on China's foreign ministry's website.

The problems that plague the relationship between the two countries from decades range from order dispute to China's support for Pakistan.

Xi hosted PM Modi in his ancestral hometown at the start of the Prime Minister's three-day visit to China on Thursday.

Reports quoted  India's foreign secretary S Jaishankar as saying that  over 90 minutes of talks between the two Asian leaders at the Shaanxi Guest House were "very substantive and the atmosphere was very comfortable."

He said the two leaders covered issues ranging from political and economic to global issues like terrorism, United Nations reforms and India's membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG).

China's statement said  Xi urged PM Modi to strengthen coordination on global and regional affairs and "work together to promote the international order in a more just and fair direction".

"The two sides should follow the historical trend and realise the strategic needs for our national rejuvenation to build a closer partnership for development," Mr Xi told PM Modi.

Xi said China is willing to work with India to "promote regional peace, stability and prosperity" in South Asia.
