World Spacious to Let India, China Flourish Together: PM

In a bid to seek peace with neighbours, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has said that both India and China have immense opportunities to work together and there is adequate space in the world to accommodate the growth ambitions of both the countries.

At the same time, Singh wished Pakistan, presently shaken with many internal problems, success in tackling terrorism. Reaching to Islamabad for third consecutive day, he also said that fate of the two countries and that of other South Asian countries is closely interlinked.

“Pakistan is grappling with many internal problems. Rise of terrorism is one of them. I wish them success (in combating terrorism),” Singh said addressing a summit in New Delhi.

Yesterday, extending hand of friendship to Pakistan, Singh had said that there was no pre-condition for holding dialogue but made it clear that cross-border terrorism has to end from the country.

Focusing on the need for a strong South Asia, the prime minister said that India “sincerely wishes” to resolve all outstanding issues with its neighbours through dialogue.

“India will be happy to extend a helpful and supportive hand to all its neighbours,” he said.

On India’s relations with China, Singh said that he had more than one occasion noted that both the countries have immense opportunities to work together in cooperation.

“(This is) because there is ample space in the world to accommodate the growth ambitions of both India and China. We have problems of border but we have also agreed that pending the resolution of the boundary questions, peace and tranquillity should prevail along the border and entire,” he said.
