China’s Ambassador Sun Weidong on Wednesday said that Beijing and New Delhi should not let their differences come in the way of the overall bilateral relation, reported PTI. The envoy’s remarks came amid escalating tension between India and China along the Line of Actual Control.

“China and India are fighting against Covid-19 and we are also facing the important task to consolidate and strengthen [our] bilateral relations,” the envoy said during an online session of the Confederation of Young Leaders. “We should correctly view our differences and never let them shadow the overall situation of bilateral cooperation. At the same time, we should gradually seek understanding through communication and constantly resolve differences.”

Weidong said the two nations should adhere to the fact that they provide opportunities for each other and therefore “pose no threat”. “We need to see each other’s development in a correct way and enhance strategic mutual trust,” he added. “China and India should be good neighbors of harmonious coexistence and good partners to move forward hand in hand.”
