BEIJING - A Chinese official on Tuesday expressed hope for the growth of China-India relations as a result of meetings between the leaders of both nations at the upcoming BRICS Summit.
"Exchanges and cooperation between China and India have seen remarkable progress in recent years and China is satisfied with the current growth of bilateral relations," said Luo Zhaohui, director-general of the department of Asian affairs under the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Luo made the remarks during a press briefing regarding President Hu Jintao's upcoming trips to the Nuclear Security and BRICS summits, as well as his visit to Cambodia.
Luo said China and India are both important members of BRICS, an organization consisting of the emerging economies of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
Luo said the leaders of both countries will use the occasion of the BRICS Summit to discuss topics ranging from bilateral relations, regional and international issues to significant global economic issues.
"As acknowledged by Premier Wen Jiabao and his Indian counterpart Manmohan Singh, there is enough space in the world for India and China to grow and work together," Luo said.
Luo said a series of activities have been arranged as part of this year's "Year of India-China Friendship and Cooperation," which follows last year's "Year of India-China Exchange."
Luo said China and India have properly managed their differences regarding border issues and the Dalai Lama in order to maintain regional peace and stability.
"China appreciates the Indian government's acknowledgement that Tibet is an inalienable part of China and that India will never allow secessionist or anti-China activities to take place on Indian territory," Luo added.

China's Hu sets his agenda for talks with India on BRICS sidelines
When Chinese President Hu Jintao arrives in India on Wednesday for the BRICS Summit, he is likely to announce steps to promote greater people- to-people contact between the two nations.
PM Manmohan Singh, it is understood, will refer to the imbalance in bilateral trade, which has exceeded $60 billion with a huge surplus in Beijing's favour.
India has been asking China to allow Indian IT and pharmaceutical companies access to the Chinese market. It has been learnt that the Chinese side has shown tremendous interest in the visit of Hu, who will be accompanied by a huge delegation.
India, however, does not favour the 'thunder being stolen from the BRICS Summit' because of the bilateral meeting, South Block officials said.
Last month, after China's foreign minister Yang Jiechi met his Indian counterpart S.M. Krishna in New Delhi, a slew of CBMs to deepen the Sino-Indian understanding amid persisting differences were announced.
But officials claim that this time India and China are unlikely to announce any step such as the creation of a joint boundary mechanism, as was declared after the bilateral meet between Hu and Singh on the sidelines of the BRICS Summit last year.
Hu's visit takes place amid an intense power struggle in China as the President's term is set to end. The country's censors have blocked internet content speculating a military coup.
