Chinese envoy for ‘sound growth’ of Sino-India ties

China has said Sino-India ties have gone beyond bilateral scope and assumed increasing global strategic significance as it stressed on the two neighbours setting the relationship on a "steady course of sound growth". Holding that "tangible progress" has been made in bilateral ties this year, Chinese Ambassador Le Yucheng said how both sides engage with each other not only matters to the two nations but will also shape the future of Asia and beyond.

Le said China was promoting a "community of common destiny" to enable its neighbors, among others, to share in the country's development through the land and maritime Silk road and many such initiatives, while noting that there was "unbounded potential" in Sino-India ties. 

 "What's especially encouraging is our people's growing passion in each other and the all-round dynamism in our two societies to engage with each other. This is crucial because as China-India relations gather steam they have gone beyond the bilateral scope with increasing global strategic significance. "Now it is incumbent upon us to set our relationship on a steady course of sound growth, because how we engage with one another not only matters to our two countries and peoples," he said.
