KAZAN: India and China Wednesday agreed to work towards improving bilateral ties, signalling a potential thaw between the neighbours.

Xi told Modi that China and India should strengthen cooperation, Chinese state media reported Wednesday. “The two sides should strengthen communication and cooperation, properly handle divergences and differences, and realise each other´s development dreams,” it added.

Xi told Modi that the two countries should “shoulder international responsibilities, set an example for developing countries to seek strength through unity, and contribute to a multi-polar world and democratisation of international relations”, CCTV said.
