You and Xi Jinping have considered each other friends.
00:03
How can that friendship be reinvigorated to help de-escalate some of the recent tensions
00:09
and resume dialogue and cooperation with China?
00:13
India-China relationship is not a modern one.
00:23
Both are ancient cultures, ancient civilizations, and have a role in the modern world as well.
00:39
If you look at the old records, China and India have been learning from each other for centuries.
00:49
Both have contributed to the welfare of the world.
00:57
The old records say that India and China had more than 50% of the world's GDP.
01:06
India and China have contributed a lot to the development of the world.
01:18
There is no history of conflict between India and China in the past.
01:23
They have always been learning from each other.
01:30
And the impact of the Buddha was enough in China at some point.
01:35
And that thought went from here.
01:40
We should continue these relations in the future as well.
01:51
There are differences as far as two neighboring countries are concerned.
01:59
Occasional disagreements are very natural.
02:03
Not everything is like that.
02:04
It happens in a family as well.
02:07
But we try to avoid these differences from becoming a dispute.
02:12
We try to do that.
02:15
In the same way, we do not discourage.
02:20
We strengthen the dialogue.
02:25
That is when a stable, cooperative relationship is in the best interest of both the countries.
02:38
It is true that our border dispute continues.
02:44
So, due to the incident that happened on the border in 2020,
02:49
the situation between us became very bad.
02:52
But now I have met with the President.
02:55
After that, the things on the border have returned to normal.
03:00
We are now working in the same situation as before 2020.
03:05
Now, slowly, that faith, enthusiasm, enthusiasm and energy will come back.
03:12
It will take some time.
03:13
There is a five-year gap in between.
03:18
Our cooperation is not only beneficial,
03:20
but also necessary for global stability and prosperity.
03:26
And when the 21st century is the century of Asia,
03:29
then we would like to see a competition between India and China.
03:31
Competition is natural.
03:34
Competition is not wrong.
03:36
There should be no struggle.
