MODI-XI AGREE TO MAINTAIN ‘MOMENTUM’ IN TIES; CHINESE DEFENCE MINISTER TO VISIT TO INDIA NEXT MONTH

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping have agreed that the Chinese defence minister will visit India next month as part of the efforts to maintain the "momentum" generated by their recent meetings

Modi, who is here to attend the BRICS Summit, met Xi for the third time in nearly three months Thursday evening after their two-day informal summit in the Chinese city of Wuhan in late April and a bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit in Qingdao, China in June

"It is important to maintain this momentum and for this we should, at our level, regularly review our relationship and give proper instructions whenever required," Modi told Xi in his opening remarks

He told the Chinese leader that their recent meetings have given a new strength to bilateral ties and also provided new opportunities for cooperation

President Xi said that the Chinese side is ready to work with the Indian side to carry forward the fresh impetus of bilateral relations since their informal meeting in Wuhan, China's state-run Xinhua news agency reported

He called on the two sides to strengthen strategic communication, increase mutual trust, promote practical cooperation, as well as cultural and people-to-people exchanges, strengthen dialogue and properly manage differences, it said.

At Wuhan, Modi and Xi had decided to issue "strategic guidance" to their militaries to strengthen communications to build trust and understanding, a move aimed at avoiding a Doklam-like situation in the future

Modi said the Johannesburg meeting has provided one more opportunity to them to strengthen their closer developmental partnership

Briefing the reporters about the meeting, Indian Foreign Secretary Vijay Gokhale said the two leaders reaffirmed their readiness to give the necessary direction to their militaries to enhance communication between them and to maintain peace and tranquility in the border areas

"They were satisfied with the efforts being made by the officials of the two sides to strengthen bilateral engagements and to implement some of the understandings and decisions that the two leaders had reached at Wuhan," he said

Prime Minister Modi also expressed his willingness to send Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval to China this year for the Special Representative-level boundary talks, he said

Gokhale said the two sides had agreed at Qingdao that the Chinese ministers for defence and public security would travel to India this year

"It was decided that these two visits would take place in August and October, respectively," the foreign secretary added

In Beijing, Chinese Defence Ministry spokesman Senior Colonel Ren Guoqiang confirmed that State Councilor and Defense Minister General Wei Fenghe "plans to pay a friendly official visit to India" at the invitation of his Indian counterpart Nirmala Sitharaman

"We have provided a top-level design for bilateral ties in a macroscopic perspective and a timely fashion, which is conducive to mobilising the positive elements of all sectors in both countries and uniting the wills of the 2.6 billion people of the two countries, so as to form a force that would push bilateral ties into the future," Xi told Modi

Gokhale said both the leaders also remarked that in the last few months mutual trust has increased between the two sides

President Xi once again conveyed to Prime Minister Modi that he is very happy to accept his invitation to visit India for an informal summit, the second one, next year and both sides also agreed to follow up on a number of issues, the foreign secretary added

They also agreed that the high-level people-to-people mechanism which would be established between the two sides will also meet this year, he said

One of the important issues which Prime Minister Modi raised with President Xi at his previous meetings is of how the two sides can enhance Indian exports to China particularly agricultural exports

"It has been decided that an Indian trade delegation will be travelling to China on August 1 and 2. Among the issues they will discuss are exports of soya, sugar and non-basmati rice and they will also look at the possible import of urea from China," he said

Prime Minister Modi also mentioned about the pharma sector and cited a Chinese movie titled 'Dying to Survive' which is based loosely on the role that the Indian cancer drugs play in saving the life of the main character of the movie, Gokhale said, adding that it was decided that an Indian pharmaceutical delegation will visit Shanghai, China on August 21 and 22 for talks

Xi said that as major emerging market economies, as well as vindicators and contributors of the current international order, China and India should strengthen bilateral cooperation, while exploring a new model for regional cooperation, upholding multilateralism, championing economic globalization and striving for a more just and rational international order, Xinhua reported

President Xi and Prime Minister Modi will meet again at the margins of the G20 summit in Argentina at the end of this year.
