Border issue sensitive, complicated: Chinese envoy

July 10, 2020 20:01

China and India should be partners rather than rivals, Chinese ambassador to India Sun Weidong said on Friday, noting that the border question left over by history is "sensitive and complicated" and there was a need to find "a fair and reasonable solution mutually acceptable" through equal consultation and peaceful negotiation.

In remarks titled `Implement Consensus and Handle Differences Properly to Bring China-India Relations Back on the Right Track', posted on the Chinese embassy website, Sun spoke of disruptions in the bilateral relationship and outlined five steps to clarify "some fundamental points".

He said China and India need peace rather than confrontation, need to pursue win-win cooperation instead of a zero-sum game, need to build trust, rather than suspicion and relations should move forward rather than backward.

Sun said pending an ultimate settlement to the boundary question, the two sides have agreed to work together to maintain peace and tranquillity in the border areas.
