Cooperating on common dream

Less than two weeks after India's new government took office in New Delhi, China sent Foreign Minister Wang Yi as a special envoy to India where he engaged in "productive and substantive" talks with Indian officials.

In fact, the past year has witnessed the most frequent high-level exchanges between China and India in nearly 60 years. This is because they both know that mutual benefits and common development can only be achieved through building a strategic cooperative partnership, instead of rivalry, said a Xinhua News Agency commentary.

Wang's trip was aimed at cementing the existing friendship and exploring further cooperation between China and India, and both countries have pledged to maintain the momentum of high-level visits. President Xi Jinping is expected to visit India later this year, to strengthen strategic coordination on their relations and work out strategic plans in order to give guidelines to the development of bilateral relations.
