Strategic talks between China and India have resumed after nearly 3-years.

 

　　Indian Foreign Secretary Sujatha Singh has met with visiting Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin for talks in New Delhi.

 

　　The two sides have discussed key bilateral, regional and global issues, including ways to reduce trade deficits and deal with trans-border rivers.

 

　　Liu Zhenmin says it's important for both sides to improve their bilateral ties.

 

　　"The bilateral relations between China and India are very important to both sides. China and India are the two biggest developing countries as well as two emerging economies, so strengthening the cooperation between China and India is significant to both sides as well as to Asia and the world."

 

　　Liu Zhenmin has also discussed a planned visit to China by Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh later this year.

 

　　The two sides also talked about potential cooperation on a Bangladesh-China-India-Myanmar economic corridor.
