During the two-day informal meeting in the southern India’s Mamallapuram township, Mr Modi and President Xi exchanged in-depth views on overarching, long-term and strategic issues of global and regional importance. Both sides also agreed to enhance the closer development partnership of the two countries, Mr Luo said.

Both the leaders also spoke highly of the development of bilateral ties, agreed to enhance communication in experience of state governance and strengthen synergy of development strategies, and discussed how to deepen bilateral exchanges so as to demonstrate the increasingly important roles of both countries on the world stage, he said.
