Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said Wednesday that strengthened communication with India benefits the two countries as well as the world at large.

On the sidelines of the General Debate of the 74th session of the UN General Assembly, Wang met with Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar.

During the meeting, Wang said China and India are the only two developing countries in the world with a population of more than 1 billion, and they are important representatives of emerging economies.

He said strengthened strategic communication, enhanced strategic mutual trust, proper control of differences, and continuous promotion of cooperation are fully in line with the interests of the two countries and the world.

Wang added the mutual trust and friendship between Chinese and Indian leaders have been extended to various departments, places and the general public of the two countries, and have been transformed into concrete results.
