The ties between China and India have generally shown a "momentum of recovery" as the two countries have maintained communication and effectively managed their differences, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi told his Indian counterpart S Jaishankar during their meeting in Bali on Thursday.
During the one-hour meeting on the sidelines of a conclave of foreign ministers of the G20 nations, Jaishankar conveyed to Wang the need for an early resolution of all outstanding issues along the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh, and asserted that bilateral ties should be based on mutual respect, mutual sensitivity and mutual interest.
Wang said that since March this year, China and India have maintained communication and exchanges, effectively managed differences, and the bilateral relations have generally "shown a momentum of recovery."
On the bilateral issues, Wang said the two countries should take practical actions to implement the important consensus of the leaders of the two countries that "the two countries are not each other's threats, but cooperation partners and development opportunities."
