Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said Thursday that China appreciates the stress the Indian government and leadership have put on relations with China, adding China is ready to work with India to boost ties.

Qin made the remarks when asked to comment on Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's report to the congress on Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's India visit from April 9 to 12.
