Chinese President Xi Jinping said the world needs the common development of China and India, in a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh here on Wednesday.
Xi said Singh is an old friend of the Chinese people and he has made important contributions to the development of China-India relations.
He agreed with Singh that there is enough space in the world for India and China to achieve common development and said he believes the world needs the common development of the two nations.
As one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world, China-India ties do not only benefit the two peoples, but have a profound impact on the development of Asia and the world, said the president.
The top priority of both countries is the economy and improving people's lives, he said, suggesting the two sides deepen cooperation in infrastructure construction, information technology, telecommunication, investment and industrial parks.
China's western development campaign and India's "Look East" policy should be combined to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, he added.
He congratulated China for its great achievements, noting that the China Dream and the India Dream are closely related.
India and China will be an unstoppable force in promoting world peace and development by working together, said the prime minister.
