Beijing, June 10, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry Web site, the evening of 9th President, XI Jinping, Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi, Special Envoy at the end of India official visit, in New Delhi India CNN-IBN in an interview. Wang Yi said that the border problems are problems left behind by Western colonialists, have to face. But not all of Sino-Indian relations, and to put this particular issue to a suitable location. Deeper relationship develops, and the mutual trust of the two countries, we will be able to create better conditions to resolve the border issue, with better atmosphere.
Following is a question and answer session:
You met today with Prime Minister MODI, MODI's Prime Minister has visited China many times, how do you like MODI's Prime Minister?
Today is the first time I met Prime Minister MODI, but had heard. Because he has been to China many times, and is an old friend of the Chinese people. My deepest impression was he quick to shore up his country for economic development has a strong desire and full of energy. I told him I discussed how to strengthen the Sino-Indian relations issues, we are talking about is very speculative.
I believe that MODI, headed by the Prime Minister of India's new Government, under the leadership of India will be based on existing results to March towards the goal of national rejuvenation. As the biggest neighboring countries, we will be in the process of with India standing with the people.
Did you say Prime Minister MODI and resolute, and previous India than he is on the issues related to whether it would be possible to adopt a more aggressive policy?
I simply cannot interfere in your internal affairs. Results of the Sino-Indian relations are successive leaders of the two countries and the two peoples, including the Congress Party and India people's Party, continue to promote made in. Meanwhile, our India expect a lot from a new Government. China and India are natural partners, and we have great cooperation potential and space to dig, need right now is both sides to sit down and face your problems, to solve the problem. We have to roll up our sleeves to work together, promoting the common development of our two countries.
You talked about the India Government has great expectations. You and Foreign Minister siwalaji yesterday for up to 3 hours of talks, involves what specific content?
We hope that China and India development concepts butt up, butt up between development strategies, edge butt joint development of the two countries, started the engine of economic growth in both countries. I quote a figure. Last year, our trade is US $ 65 billion, but last year compared to the $ 4 trillion and $ 800 billion in trade in your country, 65 billion is too low. It compared to our market size and potential, and compared with the needs of the people of the two countries, is completely disproportionate, contains huge demand here.
You are right, India's Minister for cooperation needs to be strengthened. If the two countries cooperate to deal with border issues, then this cooperation, this growth is more promising. In solving the border issue between China and India have the potential to create a schedule in a certain period of time to solve this problem?
Border issues are problems left behind by Western colonialists, we have to face it. After more than 10 years of efforts, we have established the guiding principles of the settlement of the border issue, now entering its second phase, is to set the basic framework for resolving the boundary issue, this is a very important step. We are willing to work with India to speed up negotiations, as far as possible, reasonable, mutually acceptable solution. And I have to say is, Sino-Indian relationship is not all border issues, we want to put this particular issue to a suitable location. The two leaders reached important consensus, that we need to work together to maintain peace and tranquillity in the border areas, do not allow the issue to affect normal, the overall development of bilateral relations. Deeper relationship develops, and the mutual trust of the two countries, we will be able to create better conditions to resolve the border issue, with better atmosphere.
Despite this, but there are some things, like last year's standoff occurred in the South Valley, up to 21 days. If such things happen again in the future, how we should deal with it? Chinese in their control of wire near the fortified facilities, also made India's concerns.
First of all, is that both sides want to see the event occurs. Second, we need to prevent a similar incident from happening again. Third, in the event of situations, a timely adoption of sound border Affairs consultation mechanism at all levels and also undergo friendly negotiations quickly and appropriately handle.
You mentioned mechanisms include special representatives ' meeting mechanism between the two countries. India will send you confirmation of the current national security adviser, will continue to serve as Special Representative of India? When the two countries meet again?
I don't have any specific information in this regard, but I believe that India will soon determine the Government new generation candidate. I'm going to tell you is, we signed a border cooperation agreement, bilateral contacts at all levels in the border areas would be very complete and sound.
India and China still bear the historical burden of the 1962 border conflict, India a considerable number of people in China still have doubts. Given that China is rising, and it will happen again in conflict?
The rise of the rise of China is a force for peace in the world, India's rise was also the rise of the peace force, the rise of India and China, and together would make the world a more balanced, and that's a good thing. We are strategic partners and strategic partners for a long time, we need is cooperation rather than conflict.
I'm encouraged by that. Bilateral relations also focused on economic and trade relations. Now India is one of the focus areas of the Government on infrastructure development, included roads, ports and railways in China do the investment readiness?
Today I said to Prime Minister MODI, to combine the advantages of the two countries. India's advantage is software, services, medicines and so on, China's advantage is the infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. I want to tell you is that China's high-speed rail network is the longest in the world, with 11,000 km. China's expressways with a total length of more than 100,000 square kilometers, is the longest in the world. Under the same conditions, technology, equipment and management of China's high-speed rail is one of the world 's, is the most competitive, not afraid of competing with any country fair. We have the ability and the desire to cooperate with India to work together to mutual benefit.
India have raised concrete initiatives to improve the trade imbalance situation?
We have been discussing this issue. Consensus is reached between the parties, we should not ease the imbalance through trade, but rather an expansion of trade in achieving positive balance in the process. At present we should take measures to promote trade facilitation, the next step is determined to discuss and sign a bilateral free trade arrangement, it is fully consistent with the fundamental and long-term interests of the two countries.
Talking about bilateral economic and trade cooperation, one of the difficulties is to the Indian-controlled Kashmir and China has been "Abang" persons issuing separate visa. Why China has to take such a policy?
This is a particular problem. Eastern in the Sino-Indian border issue does exist in the dispute, which is an objective fact. In order to meet the needs of residents in this region, our goodwill and flexibility point of view, for a separate visa approach, this will not affect their travel. We will continue to pass consular consultations of the two countries to discuss this issue.
Because of this policy is to bring some negative effects, leading to India some defense exchanges are forced to cancel, also makes printing new Government uncomfortable. India opposition put why China does not have territorial disputes with China issuing separate visa?
We have land borders with 14 countries, have completed the land border negotiations with 12 countries, only 2 countries have not completed, one for India and the other is Bhutan. So the problem is not very prominent in the relations between China and other countries. We can't use negative attitude to this problem, but with a positive attitude to look at it. Fundamentally, we want to continue to create conditions, resolving border issues as soon as possible. In this way, these problems do not exist.
If India does not want to continue to separate visa policies of the new Government, China is likely to revisit this policy?
We hope that on the premise of not affecting the respective stand on the border of the two countries to find a mutually acceptable, and provides a convenient way to travel to the local population. We believe that the current visa policy is a sign of flexibility. Meanwhile, we should see a wider range of people and normal exchanges as well as the question of how to provide convenience for them. I, for example, China's technical staff to India engaged in the construction, but more than six months without a visa, which makes his work could not continue. I'm not complaining, I think this is the place where both sides need to be improved. I'll give you another figure. Chinese Exit 98 million passengers last year, but China to India only 150,000 visitors, this number is too small, wholly disproportionate to our size and our mutual needs.
You have also said the two countries should make joint efforts to simplify visas. I think there is an area of cooperation of the two countries, that is terrorism. Pakistan's Army Chief, has just made a visit to China, China has always said is a all-weather friend of Pakistan. China has the potential to increase its influence, prompting Pakistan step up cooperation in fighting terrorism?
Terrorism is a common enemy of mankind, China is also a victim of terrorism, India, Pakistan, and among China, India and Pakistan have a common counter-terrorism needs. Pakistan has made it clear to us, we must resolutely fight against terrorism, we are also willing to talk with India to strengthen cooperation in combating terrorism. Three parties have a common goal, can enhance communication and reduce misunderstanding and to maximize coordination, in line with the common interests of the three of us. Prime Minister Sharif recently traveled to New Delhi to attend the Prime Minister MODI's swearing-in ceremony, we think this is a good thing. We very much hope that improved relations between India and Pakistan, because you both are good friends of ours.
In Pakistani-controlled Kashmir and Pakistan's cooperation in China, especially the engineers had a military background, you think India fears justified?
China an objective stance on the Kashmir issue, we hope that through dialogue and consultation between India and Pakistan to solve the problem. Our engineers and technicians all over the world, including most of the countries, regions. In Kashmir also has Chinese works, but I want to tell you is that these works exclusively for improving people's livelihood. Some claim that Chinese military personnel in it, I'll tell you that's not true. Perhaps some of our migrant workers dressed in camouflage uniforms bought in a shop, but they are common people.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said recently that India should not expressed concern about the situation in the South China Sea, but India have more than half of the trade is conducted through the South China Sea. As the South China Sea situation heats up, will affect India's trade.
First of all, I want to tell you, there were no problems of freedom of navigation in the South China Sea, which actually is also fully in line with China's interests. Second, the whole of the South China Sea is stable and peaceful. Third, on the question of dispute we have with individual countries, we are ready to through equal consultations and negotiations to find a satisfactory solution.
And do you think that between China and Japan and Viet Nam and other countries in the East China Sea and the South China Sea dispute if India needs to take a stand on this issue?
I'm afraid this possibility does not appear. As long as Japan and Viet Nam to take no further unilateral actions to provoke the Chinese, things can calm down. For example we drilling in the contiguous zone of the Xisha Islands, which are matters within the scope of Chinese sovereignty, but Viet Nam sent a large number of ships disturb and destroy the marauding, and we had to send the ship to protect it. If Viet Nam not to send boats to interfere, that's nothing. Viet Nam in more in the area of unilateral drilling for 20 years. Our own waters well why not? Is there any justice in this world?
If I could ensure that situation does not upgrade?
We would go through a direct dialogue to resolve current local tension. However, I would also like to tell you that it's not one thing, than China has an active desire to achieve and requires both sides to meet each other halfway. Complexities in what place? Is not relevant to this dispute continued trolling situation reminds me, one of which is now the crux of the issue.
Yes, party effort alone is not enough, take the efforts of both sides to resolve. Last year the first stop of Li's first visit India, while Prime Minister MODI first stop is Bhutan, followed by Japan, China felt disappointed?
I think a strong basis for Sino-Indian relations, with mutual trust, we are already feeling the MODI Government attaches to China. Of course, if India media and people think the Prime Minister should be MODI earlier visits to China, us welcome.
There is a saying that, United States is urging India to contain China, MODI is said to be Prime Minister, and Japan's Prime Minister Abe personally. About growing Indo-us, China, India-Japan relations worry?
Today India leaders explicitly told me that India firmly pursues an independent foreign policy. India's relationship with China as a priority of their diplomatic direction. I think China and India for the two neighbors to each other, and strengthen exchanges between us and deepen trust, expand cooperation is a perfectly normal thing, good for both of us. It is important, and Sino-Indian friendly and to be India and the Chinese people more powerful support.
You just talked about trust. Tibet-related issues affecting mutual trust between China and India, please?
Tibet-related issues, of course, is China's major concerns and we hope that India could handle the problem. I guess it's a neighborhood road, neighbours should understand each other, accommodate each other's concerns. In fact, in 2003, Prime Minister Vajpayee during his visit to China, after talks in China and India, have enhanced mutual understanding. I, as the then Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister, with India's national security adviser, has been negotiating for a long time. India's unequivocal commitment to the Tibet Autonomous Region is People's Republic of China as part of its territory, India would not allow Tibetans in India to engage in anti-China activities. The MODI Government also reaffirms the commitments made in those days. This is the India Government's established policy, we hope and trust that the MODI Government will adhere to this policy.
But the United States proposed that China should reopen dialogue with the Dalai and unconditionally, is this acceptable?
United States should talk to the Dalai Lama said: the words and deeds of the Dalai Lama should abandon any attempt to seek independence for Tibet.
I have had the privilege of visiting China last year, exposure to many young Chinese, they're like Bollywood films. Does this bilateral cooperation in new areas, so that more Bollywood movies into China?
Of course, popular Chinese movie caravan 20 or 30 years ago, I have seen. Bollywood movie now is very popular in China, I find it very vividly demonstrates the India cultural bright side, I also hope that more Chinese films will enter India. I think it is also integral to the revitalization of the cultural sense of Asian content, both sides will need to work together.
