Chinese President Xi Jinping, in his bilateral meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday, made four suggestions to deepen ties between the two countries, a top Indian official said.

Xi called for stronger “strategic communication” and deepening mutual trust, India’s Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri told reporters in Tianjin, China where the two leaders met on the sidelines of a regional security and economic summit. Xi also called for expanding cooperation to “achieve mutual benefits and win-win results,” to accommodate each others concerns, and to “strengthen multilateral cooperation to safeguard common interests,” Misri said.
