China is willing to work with India for a sustained, sound and steady development of bilateral relations, Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said at a press briefing in Beijing on Tuesday.
Guo made the remarks in response to a media query about resumption of direct flight between the Chinese mainland and India on Sunday after a five-year hiatus.
"The resumption of direct flights between the Chinese mainland and India is the latest progress in earnestly implementing the important consensus reached by the leaders of the two countries during their Tianjin meeting. It is also a positive measure to facilitate friendly exchanges between the more than 2.8 billion people of the two countries. China is willing to work with India to view and handle the China-India relations from a strategic height and long-term perspective, push forward the sustained, sound and steady development of the bilateral relations, better benefit the two countries and the peoples, and make still greater contributions to maintaining peace and prosperity in Asia and the world," Guo said.
