China is willing to further ties with India and to build on their steady development in recent years, Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said in Beijing Tuesday.
Liu said the two nations continued frequent high-level exchanges, reinforcing political trust and expanding trade and economic cooperation, as well as promoting exchanges in other fields.
China welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to India and believed Russia would play a positive role in promoting stability in south Asia and dialogue between India and Pakistan, Liu said.
