China's ties with Pakistan not at cost of India - Senior Chinese leader

A senior leader of the ruling party in China - Communist Party of China (CPC), currently on a visit to New Delhi, on Tuesday said that his country's proximity with Pakistan was "not at the cost of relations with India".

Vice-Minister of the CPC, Chen Jin said that China, India and Pakistan were the three major players in South Asia and also good neighbours. He also stated that China is not apprehensive about New Delhi's close ties with the US in the emerging world order.

Jin said: "China's relationship with Pakistan is not at the cost of its relationship with India." Complimenting India's "fast economic growth" and its growing stature, he said that China's rise should not be viewed as a "challenge" by any neighbouring country, as it prefers peace among all the three major players in the region.

Favouring a peaceful relationship among three countries, he said both India and Pakistan are "good neighbours" of China, and that Beijing does not want to see any conflict between the two nations.

He also noted that both India and China could together make great contribution to the world. "India has attained fast development in recent years. The combined population of China and India is one third of the total world population. I am sure by holding hand-in-hand, both the countries can make great contribution to the rest of the world," he added.
