font size    

Visiting Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao said Tuesday in New Delhi that his visit to India was a historic one with fruitful results.

Speaking at a press conference before ending his four-day visit to India, Wen said both China and India have seen fruitful results through the visit.

"It is better to say it is a historic visit. We all believe that China's stability and development is in the interest of India, India's stability and development is in the interest of China. The stability, development and prosperity of South Asia is in the interest of the whole world,"the Chinese premier said.

To specify the importance of the visit, Wen said it has produced three major results.

The first result was that the governments of China and India "have been able to sign a joint statement to which the two sides have announced the establishment of a strategic and cooperative partnership for peace and prosperity. This means we have actually taken this relationship to a new level".

The second result, he said, was that both sides signed an agreement on the political guiding principles for the settlement of boundary question. "This is a sign that we have taken the settlement of the boundary question to a new stage as well".

The third major result was that the two countries had adopted a five-year plan for the all-round economic cooperation and trade between the two countries. "According to this plan, we have the objective that we'll make our two-way trade volume at the level of 20 billion US dollars in 2008 and 30 billion in the year 2010," he added.

In addition, Wen said he had made extensive exchange of views with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and other Indian leaders on bilateral relations and international issues of shared interest and both sides had reached agreement basically.
