BOTH BHARAT AND CHINA ARE STRONG VOICES FOR THE GLOBAL SOUTH, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US TO STAY TOGETHER : XI JINPING

Tianjin - During a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chinese President Xi Jinping has described Bharat-China friendship as important in the current situation. He said that I am very happy to meet Prime Minister Modi...and in the current situation it is important for Bharat and China to become good neighbors and friends. Jinping said that today's world is going through changes that happen once in a century. The international situation remains unstable and complex...This year is the 75th anniversary of China-Bharat diplomatic relations.

Jinping said that the two countries should view and manage their relations from a strategic perspective and a long-term perspective. We should work together to uphold multilateralism, a multipolar world and bring more democracy to international relations, and make our true contributions to peace and prosperity in Asia and the world. "I am very happy to meet you once again in Tianjin. Welcome to China for the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Tianjin Summit. We had a successful meeting in Kazan last year, and China-Bharat relations have made a new start. The two sides have effectively implemented the important consensus we agreed on, and bilateral dialogue and cooperation have made new progress since then," he said.

"China and Bharat are two ancient civilisations of the East. We are the world's two most populous countries and important members of the Global South. Our two countries have a historic responsibility to enhance the well-being of our citizens, promote the unity and revitalisation of developing countries, and drive the progress of human society. It is the right decision for the two countries to be good neighbours and friends, to share each other's success, and to be the 'dragon and the elephant' moving forward together."

Xi said during talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi here on Sunday that Bharat and China should view their relations from a "strategic" and "long-term perspective". Xi said, "Both sides should view and manage their relations from a strategic height and long-term perspective so that our bilateral relations can develop steadily, soundly and steadily."

In his statement, Jinping also said that both Bharat and China are strong voices for the Global South. Also, they are the most populous countries in the world. It is very important for us to stay together.

During the meeting with PM Modi, Jinping clearly targeted the unilateral policies of US President Donald Trump. He said that both countries should maintain multilateralism. Xi said that Bharat and China should also work to create a multipolar global system and make international relations more democratic. Let us tell you that this was the first meeting between Modi and Xi in the last 10 months. Due to US policies related to trade and tariffs, relations between Bharat and America have suddenly deteriorated. In such a situation, this meeting between the leaders of Bharat and China is considered important.
