BEIJING, Aug. 14 (Xinhua) — China has been in close communication with India for some time to promote the early resumption of direct flights between the two countries, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian said Thursday.
The diplomat made the statement while commenting on reports that India and China intend to resume direct flights next month and that the Indian government has instructed local airlines to prepare flights to China as soon as possible.
Lin Jian noted that the combined population of China and India is more than 2.8 billion. Resuming direct flights between the interior of China and India, he added, will facilitate people-to-people travel, as well as exchanges and cooperation.
Asked to comment on the positive dynamics of China-India relations and the two countries' cooperation in the international arena, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that "dancing together as a dragon and an elephant" as partners to promote mutual success is the right choice for both sides, as both China and India are major developing countries and important members of the Global South.
Lin Jian stressed that China is willing to work with India to implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries, steadily enhance political mutual trust, expand exchanges and cooperation, properly handle differences based on the overall picture of relations, and strengthen communication and coordination within multilateral platforms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, so as to promote the healthy and stable development of China-India relations. –0–
