China on Monday said the "protectionist" trade policy of the US and the
"unprecedented" changes in the world order in the past 100 years will be
discussed by Chinese President Xi Jinping and Indian Prime Minister
Narendra Modi at their two-day summit this week.
A day after the
big announcement of Modi-Xi's informal meet in China's central city
Wuhan on April 27-28, Beijing said the outcome of the meeting will be
"positive".
"During this meeting, the two leaders will discuss
the changes that have taken place and which are unprecedented in the
past 100 years and exchange views on the strategic, over-arching and
long-term issues concerning our bilateral relations," Chinese Foreign
Ministry spokesperson Lu Kang said here.
He was responding to a
question if the leaders will discuss trade penalties by the US and other
issues like the Korean peninsula crisis.
"The world is now faced
with rampant unilateralism as well as the rising protectionism in the
process of globalization. All these trends have been closely followed
and debated.
"So against such backdrop, China and India have a
lot to discuss. We are newly emerging markets as well as developing
countries with big populations so we believe the two countries will
continue to uphold the globalization so that it is more inclusive," said
Lu.
China is locked in an ongoing trade spat with the US, which
has also threatened India with taxes if New Delhi did not lower import
duties.
Modi and Xi will hold an informal summit meeting, which
may well be a historic one and a defining moment in the history of
Sino-Indian ties.
"So we have lot of shared interests, concerns and positions." Lu said.
"They
will discuss the latest trends of the world so there is a stable global
development. I believe you will hear positive voices.
"The two
countries are important forces in promoting the multipolar world and
economic liberalization as well as ensuring regional and world's peace,
stability and development," the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
"The
two sides believe that the strategic and global significance of our
relations have become more prominent and our common interests far
outweigh our differences."
