The Chinese foreign minister has said China and India should not be a threat to each other, but an opportunity for each other's development.
Wang Yi made the remarks during a meeting with Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar in Dushanbe.
He noted that since the foreign ministers of the two countries met in Moscow last September, the frontline troops of the two militaries have disengaged with regards to the Galwan Valley and the Pangong Tso Lake area, and the situation in the China-India border area has generally been easing.
However, Wang pointed out China-India relations are still at a low point, which serves no one's interests.
He suggested the two countries shoulder more responsibilities than ever for peace and prosperity in their respective regions, attach greater importance to the common strategic interests and deliver more benefits to the two peoples.
