Beijing: As the Narendra Modi-led BJP won a decisive mandate in the Lok Sabha elections, China today said it is willing to work with the new Indian government to take their bilateral strategic partnership to a new height.
“China is willing to make joint efforts with new Indian government, maintain high level exchanges, deepen cooperation in all areas and bring China, India strategic partnership to new height,” Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying told reporters here in response to a question on BJP's victory in the elections.
Noting that counting is still going on and official results are not out yet, Hua said China valued its ties with India as it is Beijing's close neighbour and relationship in recent years have witnessed steady momentum.
Though officials say that Beijing was expected to come up with a detailed reaction after the elections results are officially announced, Chinese media and its analysts have been giving positive projections about future prospects of bilateral ties under a prospective Modi government.
