The Russian leader praised both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chinese President Xi Jinping, saying they were working to resolve issues of mutual concern, including the border question. Putin stressed that Russia’s relationships with India and China had developed independently and did not come at each other’s expense. He described India-China ties as a complex relationship and said outside interference would not be helpful.

China Calls For ‘Right Strategic Perception’ Lin also said the current situation along the China-India border was generally stable and that communication channels between the two sides remained open. “China and India need to have the right strategic perception that the two countries are cooperation partners, not competition rivals, and are opportunities, not threat, for each other’s development," he said. He added that both countries should view their relationship “from a strategic height and long-term perspective, enhance mutual trust, expand cooperation, properly handle differences, and promote the sound and steady development of China-India relations". On India’s concerns over China’s close ties with Pakistan, Lin reiterated Beijing’s position that differences between India and Pakistan should be resolved through dialogue and consultation. “We support the two sides in properly handling differences through dialogue and consultation and jointly keeping the region peaceful and stable," he noted.
