China reaches out to BJP

China today said it wanted cordial relations with India. Its Ambassador Zhang Yan met Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Rajnath Singh in an effort to reach out to the main opposition party amid a war of words between the two countries.

During the meeting, the ambassador told Singh that the boundary issue was a “sensitive matter” and that there was a need for confidence building measures, sources close to the BJP chief said.
