Investing.com – The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated on Tuesday that China and India should regard each other as partners rather than competitors and properly manage differences. This statement was made after Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu met with Indian Foreign Secretary V. Muraleedharan in New Delhi.

The Ministry reported that the officials engaged in “friendly and in-depth exchanges of views” during strategic dialogues. Both sides emphasized that China and India are partners, not competitors, and should see each other as opportunities rather than threats.

Ma Zhaoxu’s visit is part of a series of engagements by senior Chinese diplomats with India aimed at improving bilateral relations. These efforts follow a meeting between the two countries’ leaders in China last year, where both sides sought to reset relations that had deteriorated due to border clashes in 2020.

According to the Ministry’s statement, both sides agreed to enhance mutual trust, expand cooperation, and properly handle differences to promote healthy and stable development of China-India relations.
