Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday said Prime Minister Narendra Modi's three-day tour to China will strengthen the bilateral relations between the two neighbouring countries.
"The Prime Minister is in China right now. I think whatever the Prime Minister will do, it will be keeping in mind the interest of the nation and will also strengthen India-China relations," Rajnath said
at a press conference here.
Prime Minister Modi earlier held summit-level talks with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Xi'an.
In his opening remarks, Prime Minister Modi appreciated the Chinese leader for warmly receiving him outside Beijing.
President Xi in turn, recalled his visit to Ahmedabad in September last year where he was warmly received by Prime Minister Modi. The Chinese President said he was glad to receive Prime Minister Modi in his home town.
Prime Minister Modi is scheduled to travel to Beijing later in the day.
