He said both these visits have served their purpose and he was satisfied with the results that India have been able to secure both in Russia and China.
Singh said his visit to China was to follow up on the process of getting to know the new Chinese leadership better.
“China is our largest neighbor, a significant economic partner and a country with increasing global presence. While we have our differences, there are many areas, bilateral, regional, and multilateral, where cooperation among us is to our mutual benefit. It is only through a process of intense engagement that we will be able to move forward in all areas,” he said.
