Buoyed by the positive vibes from his India trip, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has termed the visit as "successful", saying he "felt at home" during talks with his counterpart Manmohan Singh, the state media said today.

"A successful start is halfway to final success," state-run China Daily quoted him as saying about the first leg of his nine-day foreign to India, Pakistan, Switzerland and Germany. Li, 57, is due to visit Pakistan tomorrow.

Terming his talks with Prime Minister Singh as "deep, friendly and frank", Li said, "It made me feel like I was at home. I really appreciate his (Singh's) arrangements," the paper quoted Li as saying about his maiden official visit, 27 years after he toured the country as a youth leader.

"The Indian officials confided to their Chinese counterparts that they are fascinated by Li's sincerity, pragmatism and humour," it said.
