NEW DELHI: India’s engagement with China is multi-faceted and issues having differences of perception by both sides are being handled with maturity, Government told Rajya Sabha today.
In a written reply, Minister of State for External Affairs V K Singh said the two sides have agreed to continue their engagement at various levels to enhance mutual understanding and address outstanding issues.
Referring to talks between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping on the sidelines of the SCO Summit in Astana last month, he said both sides had agreed that Sino-India ties are a factor of stability at a time of global uncertainty.
Singh’s comments came, a day after National Security Advisor Ajit Doval arrived in Beijing to attend a BRICS meeting of top security officials. Doval is expected to hold talks with Chinese State Councillor Yang Jiechi on the ongoing Sikkim standoff.
Talking about Astana consensus, Singh said India and China must not allow differences to become disputes. (AGENCIES)
