On Wednesday, after discussion and lunch with the Chinese Premier, Prime Minister Singh will be hosted a dinner by President Xi Jinping, a rare honour for an Indian leader.
As the worlds two most populous nations and largest emerging economies, India and China today have a growing congruence of regional, global, and economic interests, driven by respective developmental aspirations and shaped by the evolving strategic environment, Singh said.
Peaceful, friendly, and cooperative relations between India and China have provided conditions for both the countries and the wider region to grow with stability, he said.
