China 'committed' to develop military ties with India
Beijing: Sounding upbeat over the resumption of defence exchanges with India, China said it was "vigorously committed" to developing military ties with its "important neighbour" and was ready to resolve the visa row through friendly consultation. Replying to a question on the resumption of defence exchanges agreed upon at yesterday's meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Chinese president Hu Jintao on the sidelines of the BRICS summit, Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lie told a media briefing that China always valued military ties with India. "India is an important neighbour of China. China is vigorously committed to developing military to military relations with India," Hong said. After a considerable pause, India is set to restore full defence cooperation with China, with a high-level Indian military delegation expected to visit this country in June.
