Chinese Vice-President arrives in city tomorrow

Chinese Vice President Li Yuanchao will arrive here tomorrow on a two-day visit to the city as part of his tour to India to inject a new momentum in bilateral ties.
State secretariat officials said here that Li would arrive here tomorrow evening from Aurangabad and leave here for Delhi after staying overnight and attending three programmes the day after.
During his stay in the city, Li would visit the ancestral house of Rabindra Nath Tagore at Jorasanko, meet West Bengal Governor K N Tripathi at the Raj Bhavan over lunch and later Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at Eco-Park at New Town before leaving for Delhi.

Li's five-day visit to India from November 3 is aimed at strengthening the strategic partnership of cooperation between the two countries, Chinese Foreign Ministry sources had said earlier.
During his stay in India Li will hold talks with the top Indian leadership, including his Indian counterpart Hamid Ansari.
China viewed India's development as an opportunity and would like to work with India to implement bilateral consensus and move the strategic partnership for cooperation to a new high, they said.
