Beijing, June 8 — A regular press conference was held on June 8.
A question was asked: Russian President Vladimir Putin gave an interview to the media last week, discussing in detail the relations between Russia, India, and China. He stated that Russia maintains friendly exchanges with both India and China. The relations between China and India, Russia and India, and Russia and China do not interfere with each other. What is China’s comment on Putin’s remarks?
China, Russia, and India are all emerging economies. Maintaining good relations among them not only serves the interests of the three countries but also contributes to regional and global peace, security, stability, and prosperity. China is willing to maintain communication with Russia and India to promote cooperation among the three countries.
The current situation along the China-India border is generally stable, and the channels for communication between the two sides are smooth. Both China and India should adhere to the correct strategic perception that the two countries are partners, not competitors, and are opportunities for each other’s development, not threats. They should view and handle China-India relations from a strategic height and long-term perspective, enhance mutual trust, expand cooperation, properly handle differences, and promote the healthy and stable development of China-India relations.
Regarding India-Pakistan relations, China has repeatedly stated its position. We support the two sides in properly handling their differences through dialogue and consultation, and working together for regional peace and stability.
